When buying secondhand CDs I sometimes duplicate ones I've already got. I'd like to have an album list on my phone that I can easily refer to. Ideally an Excel version.

Is there any way of extracting an album list, perhaps with the artists as well, directly from the MPD database? I've tried printing the Album List page and can do so as a pdf document but it's a large document.

Any thoughts?

Hi Ian,

you can try this:

- point your browser to the following URL:

Code: Select all

http://192.168.0.60/command/?cmd=list albumartist group album

or

Code: Select all

http://192.168.0.60/command/?cmd=list album group albumartist

replace "192.168.0.60" with your IP address (RuneAudio).

- save the resulting page as htm file

- open it in a text editor like notepad++

the result should look like this:

Code: Select all

Brilliant, thank you! Exactly what I needed. Copied into an Excel file the result is only 53Kb and easily loads on my phone.
