You mean I'm not the only one who has bought a cd that he already owns?  ;)  I bought Joni Mitchell's Court and Spark, forgetting that I already had it.

You can select all from any view and copy/paste into a spreadsheet. From there, I import into an Access database. I wish MC had more database reporting capability. After all, it is a database.

You Can Then Print This Out In IE Or Import It Into Excel

If you want a list of just albums, try this. Create a new view scheme. Under step one I use album artist (auto)/album. Step two, use a name meaningful to you. Step three I left alone. Step four I edited the file list with the rule track# is 1. Then I eliminated every column in the lower part of the view except album artist (auto) and album. Now when you export playlist you'll get a list of all the albums you have without being cluttered with all the individual track information.

Note this will only work for albums with a track 1. Before I knew MC had a field for disc number I numbered tracks multi disc sets 101, 201, etc. I was very surprised to see that all my box sets were missing... Also be sure to use the album artist field column so multiple artist albums are displayed properly.
