Anyway to print out library listing?
« on: November 16, 2003, 02:33:09 pm »

Is there any way to print out a list of all the albums in the Media Library?  I'd like to do this with the albums grouped by genre/artist/album

Thanks

Hello.

Don't know if this is exactly what you want, but try downloading Scott Raymond's XAlbum XSLT here:
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?board=5;action=display;threadid=16293

and my MC XML Export plugin here:
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?board=5;action=display;threadid=16667

Using these two together will give you a nice album view of your library in HTML which you can then print or do whatever with.

What you do is output what parts of your library you want to view with MC XML Export and then apply the XAlbum XSL transformation to the XML that MC XML Export generates.

Scott.

Alternatively you can add all the tracks to a playlist then right click the playlist and Export to HTML.  You can tell it to include only the visible fields.

I've used this as a way of getting the library list into Excel - just highlight the resultant HTML and paste into excel.

Or a more simple solution is to "select all"

File Properties

Statistics

"Album / Artist"

Right Click - - > Print

Give me an HTML sample of what you'd like it to look like and I'll write you an XSLT that will generate it.

Of course, if you're looking for something "plain and simple" (i.e. text based) you can't go wrong with graham131's suggestion.  But you'll only get a column for "Artist - Album" and "Files" (which gives you the number of tracks for the specified "Artist - Album".  And it *won't* group by genre.  Nor will you have control over formatting (font size or column width, etc.)

Please don't overlook the fact that with  scott_r's MCXMLExport plugin and the right XSLT (again, which I'd give you) you get one-click generation of the HTML.  If I were feeling argumentative, I might debate that it's just as easy as using the Stat's "Artist - Album".

You can also select rows in the grid and Ctrl-C copy them to the clipboard. Then paste into Excel or whatever.

Look in the Action Window.  Select File Properties then look at the bottom for Statistics.

Graham and JLee, that is so cool!  I can click on a genre and print a list of everything in it.

Now, if I connect a Nomad Zen to MC9.1 can I do the same thing for what's on the Zen?

Glad to be of help.

Not sure about the Nomad though - sorry
