m3u_2_csv

Download: git clone https://github.com/behinger/m3u_2_csv

tutorial

Run the m3u2csv.exe (in windows)

Run ./m3u2csv_linux (in ubuntu)

Run ./m3u2csv_mac (in mac OS X)

-> Select all .m3u files you want to export to a csv file

What does it do?

This program loops over the audio files from the m3u-playlist and reads their ID3-Tags. It then concatenates some of them to a csv file. Currently the following tags are saved:

• artist
• title
• genre
• duration
• year
• album

Etc.

The compiled files have been compiled using pyinstaller (-F)

This tool only works if you have read-access to the audio files.

M3Us are not really standardized, so some programs might export the M3U differently. Please write me and I will try to fix it.

• Why is the binary so large? wxPython takes up a lot of space. Without this library only 4mb are needed (instead of 20). I would love to use tkinter (which results in ~8mb) but currently there is a bug in MacOSX that prohibits TK + pyinstaller to work correctly
