Title: export details of Library to a webpage?
Post by: Osho on April 22, 2007, 01:13:21 pm

Hi,

I want to put the details of my music collection on the web (not the music itself just the details of what albums etc. I have). What is the best way to do this in MC12?

thanks,
Osho

throw a smartlist together, decide which details you would like exported and choose columns to match those, then hit "File > export playlist"

The dialogue is pretty self explanatory, and the results are, erm, functional (http://www.theganghut.co.uk/files/mc/albums.html) ;)

The following lists all local and offline media, excluding audio cds and multi-artist albums.
[Media Type]=audio -[Album Artist (auto)]=multiple -[File Type]=cda -[Album]=assorted ~d=cm ~limit=-1,1,[album artist (auto)],[album] ~sort=[artist],[album],[Date]

A year or so ago, there was some very clever 3rd party stuff using XSLT doing the rounds, and some had a little success with it. It could do cool stuff with coverart and the like.
It might be worth a search over in 3rd party plugins, though I'm not sure if it will all still work with v12 or not.
