Re: ID3 Tags

Good evening Dave

Thank you for the information, I do think it could be possible, as you say, to utilize the playlist creator as a base for exporting to a CSV file. I have found a python module that utilizes id3libs, provided by almost every Linux, that may be adaptable to EasyTag for my needs. I haven't had the opportunity to test the module yet, or consider a script for strapping it to EasyTag. But will gladly get back to you if all goes well.

Thank you for your time and consideration of my enquiry

Charlie

I'm currently wondering if there is anyway to utilize EasyTag to export all
the tags from my MP3's collected by EasyTag to a CSV for uploading to a
database? I use EasyTag to manage my ID3 files of an extensive Audio
Archive consisting of nearly 120,000 MP3 files, which, as you may imagine,
is somewhat of a headache, and would like to upload ID3 tag information
like artist, album, track number, genre, comment, recording rate (hz),
bitrate, track title into a MySQL database for a simple management method.

EasyTAG does not have a CSV exporter, but you could use a comma-separated mask in the playlist generator to write a playlist that also has CSV data, which might be close enough to work. The only problem is that the sampling rate and bitrate are properties of the file and not the tag (internally to EasyTAG, at least), so you would not be able to include those fields.

It would not be particularly difficult to add a feature to provide a CSV export of all the data in the UI, but I do not have time to work on it at the moment.
