Help setting up a list for print-out export purposes
« on: March 16, 2006, 11:30:54 am »

I have pretty much transferred all of my music onto the mediacenter database.
I am looking for a way to extract a simple list in the form of "Artist / Album name" in a printable format (word / excel or similar) that I could take along in my back pocket when I go CD shopping. Is there any function like a report generator or similar that would allow me to print out such info in an efficient way?

So far, all the data I managed to extract also includes every track within the selected albums, which is not helpful for my purposes if you have many hundreds of albums on file...

1.- Click on the root of the Audio branch in the tree or, anyway, make sure that the whole audio library is displayed.

2.- Go to Action Window -> File Properties -> Statistics -> Artist/Album
A list of Artist - Album Title - Number of songs will display

3.- Right-click anywhere on the list and choose "Copy to clipboard all"

4.- Paste in an Excel sheet

... and you're set.

Chosing "Print" in the 3rd step would probably work the same but I normally do it the excel way so that I can format it there.

Hope it helps
