raw access to media center library

deone:
I want to play around with analyzing my media files in the MC library on the mac; e.g., look at the range of dynamic range for different genres of music.
I assume the results of analyze audio are stored in the MC library; by accessing the library directly, I could pull out such information.  Can anyone tell me the storage format of the library?

RoderickGI:
Nope. But don't even try it. You will either break something or get frustrated.

Take a look at MCUtils, "Swag of Tools", or just create a View of the data you want, select all record, Copy, and then Paste that into Excel. Analyse in there.

Search the forum for the tools. Look at the Developer section of the Wiki. Link below.

Also learn what fields are in MC using the tagging Action Window and the "Manage Library" dialogue in Options.

EDIT: Oh. You are on a Mac. Can't help you much then. Copy/Paste should work.

deone:
Thanks RoderickGI.
That worked...was able to copy data to a google sheets, dump it out as a csv file, and go to town with it using R.

Wait... really?  You're using a statistical analysis programming language to look at dynamic range in your own collection?!?

That's neat.  :)
