Wasn't that the defining feature of MC20, or at least one of them along with video or was it ripping CDs? I don't know because really I don't use or care about either. Haven't burned or ripped a CD in over 10 years and I use Macs native video player for movies etc...
Bruce Perrin:
Many thanks to those fine people - blgentry, glynor and dfortney - who responded to my pesky questions. I have MC20 downloaded. Now there's a newer version - MC21 - I'll download that one and try it out. Even if I can get MOST of what I want, that should do the trick. Being able to burn a CD and print a playlist would be really useful features for me, but - re the latter - I'll just have to manually type the details into a word processor. Them's the breaks. Once again, thank you all for your time, and rock on!
glynor:
I checked, and yeah, you're right. CD Burning was not added. I know it was worked on, though perhaps there was some issue. Not sure.

I just did a quick experiment. Anything you select can be exported as a playlist file on disk. So you can select a few tracks in an album, or a whole playlist, or part of a playlist or anything really. Then File > Export playlist. Choose "text CSV" as the output format. That will make it comma separated values (CSV). Choose "visible fields" and it will only export the columns you see in your view. You can uncheck most of the columns BEFORE you export if you only want to see a few. So uncheck everything except Song Name, Album, and Artist for example, then do the export.
The final option to make sure of on Export Playlist is at the bottom, "Output Range". Use "selection" there and it will only export what you have highlighted. Otherwise it will export everything in your current view.
This could work for you to import into other programs to print your lists. I'm not sure what you have in mind, but this certainly gets the data out of MC in a format that's easy to read and parse.

(3) From: BP Super, 30/8/15: The daily work I do is creating CDs - for us, and for other people. I try to fill CDs up as much as possible: at least 79 minutes if I can. Depending on the lengths of the tracks, a typical CD would contain about 20 tracks. I load these tracks into a separate (temporary) playlist, then remaster them in order, then burn the disc (gapless) off that playlist, then print the playlist so I can include it with a CD box as part of the finished package. (Old fashioned, I know, but if a job's worth doing ...)
Re JRiver MC for Mac: now that version 21 is due soon, I'll wait for it to be ready, then I'll download it and conduct a full trial. Thank you very much for your help. Bruce.
