Re: iTunes Library in a Spreadsheet
Works wonderfully opening a plain text file in numbers.

(Ok Daniel, I couldn't find anything more constructive to do) ;-) This is what I did: 1. In iTunes click Music Library 2. Edit Select All 3. Edit Copy 4. Open Numbers (or another Spreadsheet Application you use) 5. Choose a Blank Template 6. Click on Second Row (I left Row One for Headers, as you need to type them in when tidying up the Spreadsheet) 7. Edit Paste Match Style It takes awhile to do the paste (spinning Beach Ball- depends on amount of songs in your library). I thought This is not going to work But eventually you end up with your Library Listing pasted in neatly with columns as in iTunes. Change column widths if required, and type in headers (column Names) I have 10 columns - Name / Time / Artist / Album / Genre / Size / Kind / Composer / Year / Release Date This would also work if you Select All Copy from a specific playlist, so you could create a track listing of a playlist you burned to a CD.

Get out of here! I thought it was pretty useful actually ;-) I'm out of here now, its time for a glass of Champagne on the balcony, and Miss Cloe is pestering me to close my MacBook Pro and get her dinner!

Ronni Does that mean you have taken over from Cloe on WAMUG again? I was beginning to enjoy her posts ;-) Reg On 07/03/2009, at 5:53 PM, Ronda Brown wrote: Get out of here!

Re: iTunes Library in a Spreadsheet
Hello Mark, Have you done this in Numbers '09? It does not hold the same format as in the Library in iTunes when exported this way dropped into Numbers. The way I gave instructions below, holds all format exactly as it is in iTunes Library.
