You're going to have to do this manually AFAIK, there isn't going to  
be any automated program unless it's something that comes with  
whatever software you're using to print directly onto CDs.


Here's the manual way:

Highlight your iTunes playlist and press "Print" and select Theme  
"Text Only" and hit the "Print" button in the lower left.


When the print window opens, select "Save as PDF".

Now open the PDF you just saved and highlight the text and then hit  
"Copy".


Open Text Edit and hit "Paste" to paste the text into Text Edit and go  
to the Format menu and select "Make Plain Text".


Now you've got a totally "Plain Text" track listing that you can enter  
into your CD print program for your custom printed CDs.

Hi Kris,

I'm not working with iTunes on this.
iTunes would print out the info according to its formats, but I need  
the list in simple text form so I can print it in a custom layout i.e.  
directly on a CD.

This is probably what you're seeking:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/22230/mp3names.


I don't think this correct. MP3Names seems to get title, artist,  
etc. from an MP3 track that is missing this information. I believe  
he was trying to extract the data from iTunes which already has all  
the title, artist, etc. present so that he can have custom  
information for his compilations?


If I am correct, he doesn't need anything, iTunes does this function  
already. You make your compilation playlist, then highlight the  
playlist and select "Print". A new Print window will open that gives  
you the choice of 1) CD jewel case insert 2) Song listing 3) Album  
listing. You can also select a "Theme" from many pre-made templates,  
or customize the colors for your lists or jewel case inserts.

Have you used this? It sounded perfect.


Obviously I was wrong in my interpretation of your question. What  
you're looking for is a track data tagger for iTunes tracks that are  
unknown, is this correct? If so, you need MusicBrainz Picard:

Hi John,

I downloaded the app and dropped a folder of MP3s onto its window.
It didn't list track names the way I expected.

Have you used this? It sounded perfect.

Thanks,
Dale

Album track list generator

[Dale Hoffman]

Can anyone recommend a good free album track list generator for  
extracting title and artist data from a folder of tunes? I'm compiling  
some CDs and want to include liner notes with relevant info.


I ran some searches and can't seem to come up with anything the pans  
out - there must be dozens of shareware apps out there.


Thanks,
Dale
