software to export song data

[Daryll]

Ok guys , lets pick your brains.

I have on my gig hard drive a folder called "Songs" (that's original :D )
This contains sub folders either from decades or individual albums , now what I need is some software to scan the whole lot ( approx 15000 songs ), so I end up with a list of {artist}-{title} , thats all the info I need at the moment .
This now has to be exported as a CSV or Tab delimited format , to import into either a Access database or MYSQL , preferably the latter .
Your ideas will be very helpful.

Cheers

Daryll

I have thought about this before myself, and from a Mobile/Club point of view, I couldn't find a point in it.

I would search for the song digitally to play it, but why would I want a plain text database of it?

Then let me explain

In order to put a complete list of music on , shall we say a web site , the choices are as follows.

Manually write all the data into a HTML list , there is a very real possibility that the data could be entered incorrectly .
Use a CSV file and export to MYSQL , then using PHP clients could look up songs for thier event , or browse the entire database.

I don't carry complete lists but carry paper 'guides', listing popular tracks for various genres, a must for when you encounter brain freeze :D

I recently did an update on my whole music library and came across this neat piece of software:

Did the trick for me!

I wouldn't do that personally, because if they find that their track is Not on there, then they may choose not to book or, or feel put off by it.

It is far much easier to offer a blank playlist and state that any tracks are available providing the DJ is notified prior to the event.

But on the other hand, it is useful, so they can create a playlist on the website.

If one of Daryll's clients cant find a song on the database im sure he will get it for them.

Seems easy enough to use. Would be even better if the software supported CD+G karaoke formats too.

Don't think nowadays it's a question of not having a track, as we can get 'em easily. It's more for inspiration, and getting a feeling for the style of the output as much as is possible from a list of tracks.

I would've thought that it could handle MP3+G format karaoke. After all, the music track is simply a standard MP3 which can be IDv* tagged. As long as they're not zipped or .bin.
