All is good. I just need to know what BootTunes looks for in the text for using 
the information.
Tracks are all good and well, this works fine. Same with Artist. My main issue 
is Title Override? Is there some sort of tag? Or can you make one in the next 
release?

This is how I've been writing my text files:

Artist - Title

 Track Listing

01 - Track 1
02 - Track 2
03 - Track 3
04 - Track 4
05 - Track 5

And here is a possible template you could implement somewhere?

Artist:
Location:
Venue:
Date:
Title Override:

Track 01 -

In case I was unclear, the above examples will only import Artist and the Track 
Listing.

Title override lets you set a specific album title.  It will never be filled in 
automatically.  If you don't want to use the default album title whose format 
is specified in the settings, you can use title override to specify the title 
exactly as you want it.  It's particularly useful for recordings that aren't 
live shows (demos, for example) and hence do not have a venue or location.

The format of the text file is, by necessity, flexible.  Something like this 
will work:

The Foo Bars
1980-08-08
Topeka, KS
The Venue

May I ask why you are having to create your own text file?  Any show downloaded 
from a trading site like Trader's Den should come with one already.  If you 
aren't converting a show from one of these sites, and just want to convert FLAC 
to another format, there are programs that'll do that such as XLD on Mac and 
MediaMonkey on Windows.
