I'm in the final stages of creating my export, so I tried to load up all my files (78K) and it looks like I'm bumping into a memory issue. My laptop only has 4GB of memory and when the memory in use get to around 94% (streamlined by killing all other memory apps) it just crashes and I can't do anything. So my question is this: Can an export script be written to parse a root folder, and then open each subfolder 1 at at time, export all the contents of that one folder, create the csv, close that folder contents, open the next folder and then append the existing csv one folder at a time until all folders are done? This would have to be automated, is it possible to do something like that? Thanks ---

The only workaround would be to split the library manually (e.g. first all artists 0 ... M, then N...Z). I cannot think of an automatism in the way you described it. ---

That is what I figured.....thanks for the feedback. Its a great app not matter what, just have to do a workaround, which kind of sucks. Hopefully someday a x64 version will become available Chris ---
