Im looking to make an access or other database of my mp'3. I have a large collection so im looking for an automatic way of doing this. I really dont want every song but rather the artist and album name only. Preferable i would like the columns to be as such

Artist - Album - Year - Bitrate


Just something real simple im sure there is a script of some sort to put this into an access DB or excel spreadsheet. Any Ideas?

How organized are your mp3's right now? Are the names right? How about the ID3 tags? To get the Artist and the Title, they are in the file name. The year has to be in the ID3 tag, and the bitrate may be there.

If you are good at programming, there may be ways to get this info if it is there.

If you don't know much about programming, and can live with an HTML output of the artist and title Winamp 2.05 may work. Winamp 2.05 (and below) have a feature allowing you to output the playlist to HTML.

You may need to search the Internet for any other projects that are going on. Some of my mp3s are organized with good ID3 tags, and when I use Windows Media Player 9 it gives me a lot of extra info. Other projects may help you getting the right info for the songs.

MPEG Audio Collection
Might do what your looking for.

My mp3s are very organized, i only have full albums and everthing is id3 labled, and the files names are proper.

Thanks Pheonix, that program worked great, exactly what i was looking for.. WOOHOO

That's excellent Phoenix42. I've been using an Access thing I developed but it's not as elegant as MAC

Aw shucks!

Glad it worked for you guys/gals.
