Now you can automatically fill metadata by using a formatted text list.
'formatted' would be the key word in that sentence. often you need to alter/reformat the text file for the tags to be parsed correctly.
I'm hoping that the XLD developer took a page out of the foobar Live Show Tagger book so we can have a universal info.txt format for live shows and tagging.

Code:
[Name of Band]
[YYYY/MM/DD]
[Album/Venue Title]

disc 1

1 track name
2 track name


disc 2

1 track name
2 track name

+++++++++++++

[Additional Liner Notes]
*warning: early morning coffee rant ahead
..imo, a strict info.txt format could/should be enforced by the major trackers and/or could be generated during the upload .torrent process (for copy/paste correction).
the etree live show format/standard was a good idea back in late 1998 for online ftp/database query.. but the format is terrible for modern playback devices.
Tagging is critical if your live shows are to be enjoyed on any 21st century digital/network playback device.
