First: Thnx for all the posts! It doesn't make a difference to export to *.txt, it gave the same results as a *.xml file. Now i gonna try to import the records in excell and repl…

You could use AppleScript to export it into a tab-delimited text file or similar, but really...

Have you looked at iTunesCatalog?

looks very good..... i've got no recent mac system at the moment So i'm searching for a Windows solution

Unfortunately, there is no counterpart to Access on Macs at the moment; the closest things would be FileMaker Pro and AppleWorks (not iWork), but these aren't exact matches. FMP is…

You've been right Angus_D but most Windows users don't wanna know something about itunes. I copied the library and put it in an acces database...that works Today i saw some php …
