 need to update my audio library tags (consisting of mp3 and flac files) with information contained in a csv.

Some fields are existing in MC and some will need to be created **
Here's the fields:

filename;
artist;
name;
album;
track #;
duration;
year;
rating;
composer;
genre;
mood;
theme**;
style;**



I look in the forums, and I know it is possible to import this information in xml, but I cannot figure how...

Idealy I would like to be able to import it directly from the csv, but if it is not possible, I am sure I can find a way to transform it in xml.

Thanks !

You will need to transform your csv list to mpl (MC's version of XML).

The format itself is fairly simple,
- select some files in PN,
- File->Export as playlist->MPL playlist (select), Ouput range: Selection

then look at the resulting MPL file in a text editor to get a feel for MPL.

Try to create a similar MPL with a small batch of files.

Then to update the tags you File->import playlist and select your mpl file, which should only update the tags of the files concerned.

Always backup library before each update

If the fields are standard it might be simpler to just Import the files as is.
