Scorpion Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Hi guys. I need help regarding exporting my Music library in text format. I know this isn't related to Poweramp, but is there any way I can export my complete Music library in text format. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

flyingdutchman Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 @Scorpion do you mean, the full list of your music's file paths?. simplest is to create a playlist of all tracks and export as .m3u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Just go into Poweramp's 'All Songs' list and long-press on a song title. Then tap 'All' and '+Playlist' to make a new overarching playlist that contains everything in your music library. It will be sorted in the same order as the List Options you use for the All Songs list, so I suggest perhaps using "By Path" if your content is organised that way, or maybe "By Artist". Then go to Playlists > (menu) > Export, and that list (alongside any others) will get saved as an .M3U8 text file. You can then open that file in any text editor app to clean it up a bit - such as discarding any lines that start with "#", or removing the initial storage path details that you may not want.

Andre Hey.. Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this method, but the name that are shown in the m3u8 is based on mp3 file name rather than "artist-title" or "title-artist".

Basically I want to export my Music library in "Title-Artist" format (for ex - "Starboy - The Weeknd". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 That's not really an export then, more of a music catalogue creator I guess. Not something you can do from Poweramp anyway. Some tag editors (computer based) can export CSV-format lists based on embedded tag contents, which sounds more like what you want. Tagscanner can create lists for Excel, HTML, etc for example.
