Export iTunes music library information (album, artist, track names) to CSV or spreadsheet format? Is there a way to export album/track information from an iTunes music library into, say, a comma-separated values (CSV) file, or another spreadsheet-friendly format?

I'd like to be able to grab a snapshot of at least basic metadata &ndash; being artist name, album name, and track name &ndash; and copy into a spreadsheet or database software for reference, cleansing, &amp; analysis.  (If you want to call me a music nerd for wanting to data-mine information about my CD collection, go right ahead! :-)

Is there a way to do such a metadata export within iTunes itself, or else might there be a third-party tool that can extract such information from iTunes library storage?  Or perhaps you have a quick &amp; dirty homebrew script of your own you could share here?

I'm aware there is XML somewhere in the bowels of my iTunes library, and I'm a programming nerd too, but I'm hoping somebody has already invented this particular wheel.

Thanks!
Make sure all the columns you want metadata for are visible in the playlist or library you're looking at. Then, select the tunes you want with shift-click or ⌘-click or whatever:



Then, hit ⌘+C to copy. This will allow you to paste what's visible in the iTunes playlist into any sort of spreadsheet you like:



It won't label the columns for you, but it'll do the trick quickly.
