iTunes2 is a Library.export viewer for the popular iTunes (version 2) music player created by Apple computers. It reads the entire file into an array and then cycles through each line of the file to extract wanted information.
Support is included to convert time (in seconds) to a more readable format (minutes:seconds), as well as export file size, genere, bit and sample rates, and track numbers. Optional headers/footers can be set by un-commenting the appropriate lines.

/* Description:
iTunes2 is a Library.export viewer for the popular iTunes (version 2)
music player created by Apple computers. It reads the entire file into
an array and then cycles through each line of the file to extract
wanted information. It take awhile to execute on slower systems or
with large music libraries.
The script is designed to work with the playlist being grouped by
"Artists", although it will work otherwise, just not as intended.
Support is included to convert time (in seconds) to a more readable
format (minutes:seconds), as well as export file size, genere, bit and
sample rates, and track numbers. Optional headers/footers can be set by
un-commenting the appropriate lines.
Trademarked names such as Apple computers and iTunes are held by Apple
