Do you know which format you would like to export to be and more
important which content you want the export to contain ?
The current version supports to export data either as a comma separated
file or as an XML file. The exported data is flat, so you can't
currently export a hierarchical structure. I have been thinking a bit
also about allowing to export a hierarchical structure but that part
isn't easy to do yet.
So you can export things like this in separate export:
- All artists matching criteria xxx
- All artists matching criteria xxx including a column which contains
the album id's for the albums the artist has made
- All albums mathing criteria xxx
- All albums mathing criteria xxx including a column which contains the
song id's for the albusm the artist has made
- All songs matching criteria xxx
- All songs matching criteria xxx including a column which contains the
album id which the song belongs to
But you can't currently export a structure like this:
Code:
--------------------
<Artists>
<List of albums for each artist>
<List of songs for each album>
--------------------
If you aren't familiar with SQL, I think the easiest way would be if
you told me which information you want the exported file to contain.
The best would be a short example file.
