When you have your DMS in the cradle and go into Options, you have a option to print database. I want to print the database, but I don't want to actually print it out on my printer. I would rather print to a file and take it to Kinkos and let them do it. I mean with 60gb of music it would take all of your ink and paper.
Even better, if one of you programmers would make a program to print the database. Maybe you could add in the option to use special text for just the Playlist names. Maybe you could have it leave out certain criteria that the user chooses?
Hey what do you say, or/and maybe it could be integrated into Phat4X?

Solution herehttp://www.mediamonkey.com (One of the best, if not the best)
File ---> Create reports (html, xml....)
Make sure you mount your dms, first:
Tools --> Options --> Portable .... or if you can point toward your phat music folder if you have one in one specific location........
Huh! Wonder if Tag & Rename does something like that?
here's a quick workaround...
I simply print it to adobe pdfwriter.
The resulting pdf file will allow you to use the "text select" tool to copy the database as text.
You can then paste it into a spreadsheet or text editor for reformatting as you see fit.
I just wrote a little program that grabs the playlist names from a directory and can put them to clipboard in one, two or three column format - I then paste the results into Excel where I can print it tidier than PMM, but you can do whatever you like ...

You can download the program and (VB6) source files here: http://www.gbmini.net/downloads/Phatbox.zip
Awesom. This is a cool little utility.
I was trying to figure out what the easiest way would be to make a music catalog to put in the glovebox so I can figure out where stuff got too on the DMS and passengers can figure out what they want to hear easily.
So far, I've got 598 albums on an 80Gb DMS. Still got 20 Gb free... And an empty 20 Gb to fill up as well. ;)
Havn't even started making playlists of the compilation/mixed albums or movies/show soundtracks yet.
I'll get done eventualy, I guess...
Thanks!
