Answers.Text: Pricing
  
  From the docs: 
  https://sgroup.com.au/plugins/feedme/getting-started/pricing/
  We love free stuff, and we're happy to announce Feed Me will always be available as a free version. You'll be able to import your content into Entries, but for all other Element Types such as Assets, Categories, Users and Commerce Products - you'll need the Pro version.
  
  So it needs to be bought for the Matrix fields?

Answers.Text: Cool. Thanks for the sharp and shoot answer mate. I am gonna check this out but I really need something that can handle CSV files and such. Craft is as we know the "Content Friendly CMS" so there must be a way for this.

Answers.Text: Most say that this plugin, FeedMe is amazing and simple to use. Highly reccomend it for Feeds-related import. Thanks and Good Work @crawf. I am still looking for a utility solution though. Would need to be able to import CSV content into matrix fields. There must be something of that sort?

Answers.Text: A solution to add to this: @crawf pointed out to me a solution to my problem: Convert the CSV files to JSON and import that one through **FeedMe**. With the help of services like [http://www.csvjson.com/csv2json](http://www.csvjson.com/csv2json) this becomes a breeze. My problem is solved.
