Hi, I would like to be able to do a (simple?) export with CSV comments for Title / composer / comments. I have looked for ages on the foru8m & can't find this solution. When I try to create a new export & edit it, my computer pops up saying "select a windows program to edit this type of file" then …

In my Excel the tab character ($char(9)) works better than a comma... But if your Excel needs a comma, here you go: $filename(csv,utf-16)Title,Composer,Albumartist,Comment $loop(%_filename%)%TITLE%,%COMPOSER%,%ALBUMARTIST%,%COMMENT% $loopend()

... the standard installation even comes with a csv export script ... perhaps you find inspiration in this thread: [image] Need to export a csv file of a list of songs! Support I've done this dozens of times on another PC but I can't figure out how to write a new export s…

Hi, thank you . But I still don't know how to actually make this happen? Sorry this is above my technical knowledge. Please help!!

As almost all the steps are described either in the help or in the linked thread, I do not know where you need help. So if you described what you do and where you get stuck, it would be much easier.

Thank you. Sorry but I just do not understand how to make the script correctly. I have read both & it is still a mystery. I could carry on struggling & getting frustrated, or maybe would you mind please telling me what I need to type (or maybe even doing it & I can copy & paste please?) I have chan…

I don't even understand the terminology such as "loop" etc. I don't need to understand either in my daily life, I just need to make this script then get on with my day. If someone could please be a data hero & help me out by just writing a script it would be so helpful & brilliant! WOuld probably …

OK. Select the files for which you want to create the export. The new file that you have created should contain the sample text. You don't need that text - replace it with the following text: $filename(csv,utf-16)Title$char(9)Composer$char(9)Albumartist$char(9)Comment $loop(%_filename%)%TITLE%$…

Brilliant, thanks so much! Top man/lady!! Much appreciated, I will try it later. Seriously that would have taken me hours to figure out, & driven me to drink!

How would I get each value to be on different columns please? Sorry I should have been more specific, but didn't think to ask. Currently that works, but all the information comes out in the same box in XL. Is it possible to export the data so it comes out like this: Title comes out in column A,…

That's brilliant, thank you very much!! You are a star! That has really saved me a load of head scratching, & I'm sure will also help many others too. Big up yourself.
