iTunes Music Library Information (Help)

[macintouch]

Ok.

I'm looking for a program or utility or whatever that can compile some information about my iTunes Music Library. I need it to make a list of text of what albums I have and who their respective artists are. It should be able to go into a text document and look something like this or similar.

1. Artist 1 - Album 1 by that artist
2. Artist 1 - Album 2 by that artist
3. Artists 2 - Album 1 by that artist
4. Artist 3 - Album 1 by that artist

and so on.

If there's something out there that does that, does anyone here know what it's called?

Isn't there an export feature in iTunes that will export your library as a text file? Or am I imagining things?

There is, but it's got a whole bunch of extra information in there that I don't need, and I don't have the time to sit there and delete everything that I don't need.

Long way to do it, but it works:

Select your library
Hit the Command Key and the letter "p"
Play with the setting until you have what you want
Hit print
Select "PDF"
save it as a pdf


Cut and copy the text from the PDF

Exactly what I wanted.

Thank you very much! 😀

There's only one problem with doing it this way.

It doesn't copy any spacing into the text document if I have multiple albums by one artist.

For example


The Beatles A Hard Day's Night 13 30:30
Abbey Road 17 47:25
Let It Be 12 35:11
Please Please Me 14 32:46
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 13 39:51
Ben Folds Songs For Silverman 11 43:54
Ben Harper Burn to Shine 12 54:34
Diamonds On The Inside 14 1:01:28
Fight For Your Mind 14 1:08:06

So it messes up all the spacing and what not...
