Troubles Exporting Song List

Here's my situation, I want to export my song list and I have songs with Chinese words in them. I could do it before, it appeared as if iTunes saved the .txt files in Unicode, but now I can't get it to work. All that shows up are question marks where the chinese words are, which means iTunes has reverted to saving in ANSI. Does anyone know how to fix this or have a work around so I can see the song list with the chinese words? Thank you very much to anyone who helps out!

I upgraded iTunes from 6.0.2.23 to 6.0.4.2 and the Unicode option disappeared. I am not sure if that is the cause though. I have successively tried going back to 6.0.2.23, 6.0.1.3, 6.0.0.18, and 5.0.1.x, in that order, without success. I can still view old Unicode exported song list in Notepad, so the XP OS seems ok, I just can't make new Unicode export list. Do Apple engineers read these forums? Can a kind engineer please help?

Library icon changed to an "Export songs list" list named "live" ?

I was converting a playlist named "LIVE" to MP3 and afterwards I found my Library was replaced by a export song list with a new icon named "live". This new folder still contains all the songs that were in my original "Library".
What happended to Library in the source list and can it be corrected?

First off, you say you purchased a 5th gen. iPod. Since the latest version is the clip-on 6th gen., I wonder if that's what you mean, or did you get a used (or old, but never used) 5th gen.? You might also check the OS requirements for the iPod you have, and see if the version of iTunes is compatible with your OS. I had to upgrade my OS to go from my old Classic 160 to a new Nano 6th gen.
As you have guessed, the exclamation mark means that even though you have a particular song in your iTunes library, the file that it points to is no longer where iTunes thinks it should be. This may be because iTunes is confused (in which case you would resolve the confusion), or it's gone (in which case you need to get a new copy, or remove the song from iTunes if you don't want to keep it). I'm not a Windows guy, and I'm not at my home computer where I can try this out, but if I remember correctly, you can have iTunes gather all the music files on your computer and move them (or copy them) to the place where iTunes expects them to be. On a Mac, that's HD>Users>My User Name>Music>iTunes>iTunes Music. If you don't want to let iTunes do that, you can move all the music files you find to that folder yourself.
Once all the music is there, you can delete the songs from iTunes and import them again (directing iTunes to the folder you just gathered. Make sure you are signed into your iTunes account (in the Store pull-down window—not the Store tab on the left). Songs from the iTunes store can be downloaded again (if you don't have them anymore), provided you are signed in. If a store purchase is on one of your iPods, but not in iTunes, iTunes can detect and download those again, but the limit for devices is 5, so don't waste them if you don't need to.
More detailed info can be found in the manuals (download here).

Export song list with Japanese, Chinese and some Korean characters

I had tried to export my list of songs (which consist mainly of Japanese songs, some Chinese songs and a few Korean) using .xml but it seems like everytime I try to open it using Firefox or IE, both browsers will freeze and hang. I tried exporting as .txt, but non-English character will appear as question marks.
May I know if there is any other better way for me to export my song lists?

Export Song List -itunes- to Excel (with BPM)

Hi, trying to export my Itunes library song list to excel. When I do it, it exports most of the info but not the column BPM (Beats per minute). I need this one more than any as a DJ. Why is it not exporting? Any ideas? Everything else looks fine.
Thanks
Matthew

OK, let's try the hard way.
iTunes keeps an XML copy of your Library data in Music:iTunes:iTunes Music Library.xml. iTunes only writes to this file as a quasi-backup of the real database at the heart of iTunes - "iTunes Music Library".
The XML file does contain the BPM data. Depending on your familiarity with XML you may be able to easily parse out the data yourself rather than relying on iTunes' Export command.

Exporting song lists to Excel, etc. with Zen Vision:M 3

Hello-
Is there any way to export my songs from the Zen to Excel (or any other similar program)? I have researched previous requests, and all pointed to the previous version of Creative Media Explorer, along with a 3rd party program called Notmad. Unfortunately, Notmad will not work, as it does not support the Zen Vision (though it does support the non-vision Zen series). Please note I did download it and attempted to use it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
-Steve C

Never mind, I found a very easy method:
1. Download Media Monkey, FREE at www.mediamonkey.com
2. Media Monkey will find the Zen. Select the Zen so the songs appear.
3. Go to File:Reports, and choose export as Excel.
4. Choose the location, and there you go!!!

Thats not entirely true.
I have an Audi car kit and it copies all contacts, missed/received/dialed numbers from the iPhone 3G to the cars system.
I can scroll through the contacts in the same way I can on the actual phone.
So it is possible to transfer the contacts via bluetooth but obviously this doesn't work with every manufacturer or bluetooth implementation.

Exporting a listing of songs

Unfortunately I have to get a new iPod because my current 5th Generation broke. It no longer plays sound, and as I've discovered through another thread this is becoming quite common in the 5th Gens. However, I know that there are songs that I don't have the files for on my current PC. I had downloaded some songs on my old archaic PC, and unfortunately as that PC started to come close to its inevitable demise I couldn't back up files.
So my question is, is there a way that I can sort of export a listing of files currently on my iPod so that I can compare that list with my present Library on my PC and see what I will need to purchase again? In addition I would need to know how I could export that same listing for my iTunes library. Preferably I'd like an Excel format. As an Accounting geek I know how I can compare these two lists rather quickly.
Thanks!

You can copy the songs themselves from your iPod to your computer. The transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

I'm having trouble redeeming a free song list

I'm having trouble redeeming a free song list. After putting in the code and I'm prompted for my password to start the download. Then nothing happens and I am redirected back to the home screen. Any ideas?

Reapply the style to the second caption - it most likely has an override on it restarting the numbering at 1.

Is there a way in iTunes to save or export the list of "total warnings" that can appear when syncing an iOS devices?

I often have clients encounter a list of the songs/movies/apps that won't sync with their iPhone or iPad -- usually due to missing items in thier iTunes library.
Is there any way to copy/save/export that list to facilitate the process of resolving the missing files? That would enable me to fix the issue(s) without the presence of my client or their phone.

I would just take a screen shot, but I'd end up needing to take dozens, as the attached screenshot shows...
I can't select any text in the warning window, or I'd just copy and paste.

How can I export songs from my iTunes to a mail program or laptop?

How can I export songs from my iTunes to a mail program/computer? The songs in question are originals composed by my boyfriend in Garage Band. We have full rights to them, but they import into iTunes like all the other artists songs. His hard drive crashed and I have the only copies. I have no access to my iMac for 2 months while we tour our show and we need them on the tour. We are in dire straights if we can not access these songs and the iPad will not hook up to our equipment. Plus we need to add a track to a promotional video. So how can we access our own music?
Thanks.

If they are in the iPad's Music app then the only way to get them out of it is by connecting the iPad to a computer. As they aren't iTunes purchases you won't be able to copy them back to a computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, instead you will need a third-party program on the computer to copy them off - there are some listed half-way down this page which should work: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

Songs gray & unplayable in song list in iTunes...

I recently bought an iPod nano 4GB 3rd Gen. (I also have a shuffle) From the first time I connceted and installed the iPod, the song list under the iPod installed in iTunes is gray-scaled and is not clickable. I can't delete or add unless actually re-syncing songs. I do not have this problem with my iPod shuffle.
Why is this happened?
(i have all the available updates for iTunes; i tried installing it on another account on my computer; i trouble-shot, restored setting, deleted and then re-added songs to the library and it still is gray-scaled)

Dimaxum,
Thank you much but I was told be a very experienced 'mac/apple genius' that it was supposed to be like that.
I do appreciate your help though.

Copy or export a list of the titles you give to edits?

I make rough edits for radio commercials on Garageband, and then my audio engineer uses my Garageband edit as a "map" for his master edit.
One of the steps is to write down the name of each edit in sequence on the track; I name them by TIME followed by a PHRASE - "03.78.111 The next time", etc.
Does anyone know a way to automatically export a LIST of the names of your edits in sequence?
Thanks.

I don't think you can do that in GarageBand.
Logic has a neat feature where it adds metadata to the aiff file when bouncing a song. It embeds the Tempo and Markers of you project in the aiff file. When you import that file into another Logic projects, it asked you if you want to import that data. This way you could add your notes as Markers in your project (similar to GarageBand's Arrange Region) and that text will be carried with the bounced aiff file.
Hope that helps

Export song library to PDF document Mac vs Windows

I have used iTunes under OSX and Windows and a feature that I cannot find under OSX is the ability to export my whole song library to a PDF document. In Windows I did this and it automatically created a PDF document nicely formatted with the album cover images where available and sorted by artist order. Under OSX, I can only export songlists to a txt file and it is very difficult to read.
Is this function only available on Windows or was it phased out of the iTunes app? (I used this feature quite some time ago - approx 2 years, about v.4.5at a guess)
Any assistance appreciated.
Regards

Hello Kellabrations.
You will be happy to know this CAN be done in OSX.
Select your Library from the Source List in iTunes. Make sure that ALL is seen in the window.
Then just PRINT (Either from drop-down or Command-P) Select "Song Listing" and "Save as PDF".
This will make a PDF of the library for you. You can also select a single track in the library list, then do a Command-A (or Select All from pull-down) and Copy then Paste into a spreadsheet, or where ever you need.
Hope this helps!
