just to be clear...are you talking JUST song files..MP3, WMV,..etc...or some text listings in Excel or such...or both?

The Godfather will import data about 9 different 'sound' formats, then allow you to edit the data...and it will access FREEDB and suck up the data from a CD.

I have a player/database combo called MediaMonkey which says it will export track lists as Excel, HTML, XML or CSV, AND says it will access FREEDB, (though I haven't tried it)

MP3Tag is just for collecting and editing the data (tags), but is good & simple.

There is another VERY well-known inter-related set of apps called 'dbPowerAmp' which plays, converts, organizes a database of music files, and which will export as HTML.


I am just not sure what YOU need to import and in what format. I 'think' I'd take a look at http://www.mediamonkey.com/ and see what you think...(it was just improved, I see)...but it may require you to take a couple of these for a test drive to see if they suit your needs. (You know me, I gotta try everything, but I don't have any pre-existing idea of how it should be...I just tell the program "here be music files...do your trick"..you could do that too, then see if you like it...even a short test on a subset, rather than gulping up all 8500.
