- 2 Click File | Export and create a new export config containing e.g.:
$filename(C:\My Music\%_parent_directory%\%band% ; %album%.txt)

(The absolute path is necessary to make the destination independent of the Mp3tag current directory. Improvement needed - make script automatically determine absolute path.)

- 4 Click OK.
Note: when using the above to update existing labels, because it does not delete existing labels you should manually delete existing labels first.
