1. Introduction

iTunes is keeping track of all the information of your music library, in a proprietary database file and does not provide any interface to manipulate that. You have to go through AppleScript to get or set information in it. This is sometimes nice, some people have nice websites of all sorts of AppleScripts to do whatever they felt useful to do, but I have not found much information on how to publish your whole library in html-format. Therefore I went to search the internet, and found some links which set me on my way to get my own solution.

It might not be perfect, it might not even be nice, but it could do for you. Anyway, it did for me. As of lately, I've bundled everything together in a nice little application which you can find here.

You can see a list of similar packages at the end of this document. Some of them are payware, some of them are freeware. All of them have advantages and disadvantages, and you might well find that mine is not the package that best suits your needs. However, you will find that mine comes with a full explanation of what it does. As a matter of fact, it actually grew out of this documentation and has not had a purpose so far but illustrating this text. That might change in the future, but as for now, it's better to still consider it like that. If you have some success or ideas with the package, I'd be glad to hear!
