Question

itunes library list

by Sep 27, 2011 3:42PM PDT

Does anyone know if there's a way to get a database of the entire apple itunes library. I don't want the audio files - I'm just trying to get a copy of the song database listing.

Am I nuts or is this possible with iTunes or with any other (spotify, pandora, etc.).

Try this:

To save a copy of a single playlist or use it in iTunes on another computer, select the playlist (below Playlists), choose File > Library > Export Playlist, and choose TXT from the Format pop-up menu.

This does not copy the tracks, just the names

Any good?

I'm wondering how to get the list of ALL the tracks that are available from iTunes. Not just my playlist but the entire Apple iTunes playlist. Is that possible?

On travel someone in a foreign land wanted to offer every title Apple does and had some one trying to write an app to rip the titles off the Apple site.

Funny thing to overhear.
