    exporting Metadata to excel

    Is there a way to extract the Metadata to say an excel file? I know you can copy and paste but I was hoping for a importable file so we can keep a database of our music and its relevant data.

    thanks,

    You can use MP3Tag to export metadata to a txt file and import this into Excel.

      Install the 'Audio Info' utility codec, open batch converter >> choose root folder >> click convert >> choose encoder as [Audio Info]. Choose the 'Tab separated table option' then click Convert.

      Your whole library will have metadata exported into excel.

          so... where do i find this awesome and mythical "audio Info codec?" we have a library of over 15,000 CDs and we are in process of digitizing them.. so a data base search with lots of metadata will be invaluable.

          thanks... my guys love the program.

                Yes, it was (welcome) news to me too. I'm surprised I never noticed it before now.

                  Hi,
                  I discovered that in the extract file the semicolon is missing in multiple value tags. Assuming this can be fixed somehow - is there a way to write back the edited tags into the *.flac-file?

                    How are multi artist values shown for you?

                    There is no way of importing the list back to the tags.
