Export/Import tags to/from a text file with metaflac

I'm trying to get a sense of the metaflac commands: "--import-tags-from=FILE" and "--export-tags-to=FILE". AFAIK, there's no GUI to use them and I'm definitely not a scripting wizard. 

My folder structure is "1 album = 1 folder". What I wish to achieve is having the tags in one text file by track (with the same name), in each folder. Like that:

Folder :

"G:\Fabulosos Cadillacs\Los Fabulosos Cadillacs - 1997 - Fabulosos Calavera\

Files:
"01-01 ¦ Los Fabulosos Cadillacs ¦ El Muerto.flac"
"01-01 ¦ Los Fabulosos Cadillacs ¦ El Muerto.txt"
"01-02 ¦ Los Fabulosos Cadillacs ¦ Surfer Calavera.flac"
"01-02 ¦ Los Fabulosos Cadillacs ¦ Surfer Calavera.txt"
"01-03 ¦ Los Fabulosos Cadillacs ¦ El Carnicero De Giles - Sueño.flac"
"01-03 ¦ Los Fabulosos Cadillacs ¦ El Carnicero De Giles - Sueño.txt"
etc.

Obviously, after having exported the tags, I want to be able to import them later. Is there a way to do this for 70 000+ files with a batch/script?

P.S.: I know MP3Tag is supposed to support this feature, though I never found a way to do it properly. I'd just prefer to rely on metaflac if it's feasible.
