Hi everybody,
I have been thinking about this for a while. Obviously iTunes must store all of the info about the CDs that downloads from the net. Is there any way I cna get a hold of those info and populate a database, say a Filemaker one, with all of my music (including tracks titles and stuff) without having to digit a damn nothing ('cept for those CDs I have that nobody else does)???
Please, let me know if I can do it and, if yes, HOW can I do it

Check out some of the Exporting Scripts at Doug's AppleScripts. There's an AppleScript there that will transfer your iTunes database to a FileMaker database. Should be just what you're looking for.

Hey, thanks for taking the time to write me but the thing will not work.
It has a limitation, the author acknowlodges it but doesn't know maximum amount allowed, that is between 100 and 1800 records to be imported at the same time.
I already have a library with 45000 tracks and some thousands CDs. I need something more reliable than that. Any other idea?
Thanks
FC

While I don't have as many tracks/albums. You can Select All in your main Library and paste it in to an Excel speardsheet - it gives you everything you have in your View Options... artist, track, title, album, time, genre, etc...
It doesn't work so well using Appleworks, but Excel handles my measly 749 tracks with no probs. You could then export it as comma or tab delimited for import into FileMaker.
