I need to export my itunes song list in a readable format, but I don't have excel on my home computer, and all three of the options for exporting it that itunes gives me (plain text, unicode text, and .xml) don't work. Any ideas?
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
When you say don't work, what happens? Or doesn't, precisely?

It saves it, but the file is not in an easily readable or reformattable format.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Perkins, do you have a Mac? If so, there are scripts you can download to do exporting in all sorts of formats.

I do have a mac. Do you have links, or should I start exploring?

Gimme a sec....
OK: [link]
Check out the "exporting info" catagory - I think that's the one. There should also be instructions on how to intall the scripts (they just need to go into a certain directory).

What does the first bit of one of the lines look like, Perkins?

Thanks Tommyrot!
I have no idea if it will let me post this, but this is the .xml version.
Nope, didn't work. I can mail it to you.

Perkins, you can export to text and open in Excel (see edit above) if Excel is your target app.

I tried that this morning; didn't work.
