Title: MC 23 Library Snapshots -- Printing
Post by: Zaro on August 23, 2017, 05:54:06 pm

I've searched but unable to find a mechanism that would allow me to structure a snapshot of the library, also sort out which info columns preferred, possibly also allow for adding the album cover art.  An example might look like -- a complete print-out such as shown when selecting "All Albums" would come in handy, but also needed is the ability to set it up where each album [and it's associated info] are assigned a page number could allow for selective page(s) printing.

I attempted to try ...File\Print List, but that turned out a 297 page document with row upon row of numbers following by lots of pages of text -- very strange.

Thanks in advance.

You can select files in any view, and copy to the clipboard.  Then paste into a spreadsheet.

I'm assuming that when you say "you can select files in any view" that you are referring to music files. I don't want to copy/paste music files. I simply would like to print out a complete [or a page range] of the Album names and their associated tracks, just as it appears in the "All Albums" view with only the Album name, track #, and track title columns.

Album Name
                  track1: title
                  track2
                  track n

nope

• make a view that only shows the columns you want to see (this is optional of course - it's easy to eliminate columns in a spreadsheet)
• select any amount of tracks
• copy (ctrl-c)
• go into spreadsheet
• pick a cell and paste (ctrl-v)
• enjoy having exactly what you asked for

i like excel, the remove duplicates function is a great way to get a spreadsheet of albums only

Yes, this works but not ideal.

Would like to see the Album name listed once in the left-most column (A), with the tracks listed below in the (B) column.
Same as they appear when in All Albums view, even better, a small cover art image as well.

The only way that I have been able to achieve this is with screen shots, but only able to capture limited number.

Thank you.

this is not possible within MC.  it is a database, not a reporting tool

it wouldn't be too hard to format a spreadsheet or even HTML document the way you describe, but all reporting takes time.
