The iTunes library to HTML script is ready for your ridicule. It uses
Tex-Edit for its manipulation:
http://www.Tex-Edit.com/
This is a great way to let your friends know what music you like and also to
see what irrelevant database entries you need to delete. Example:

Download the script here:

---------------------------
Need help with (in order of priority):
1) Interpolate cells XML leaves out so the columns are in line. I need help
with this. Perl/shell programmers solicited.
2) Open finished HTML file in default browser. (Not everyone uses iCab!)
3) File size number needs to be converted to MB and rounded then truncated.
HELP!
4) Move "Genre" column to leftmost and sort according to "Genre". iTunes'
Database lists according to time added and the table comes out as such, but
this is not the best format for a web page. Help!
I5) Write the text manipulation in Perl, I'd like to offer it independent
of Tex-Edit and also learn Perl.
Technical notes:
Runs in OSX only as far as I know. Might run in 9 with a mod to the Finder
block. Script is in "Data Fork" format, whatever that means.
Script runs slow, 2 minutes in my TiBook 667 with 640 songs.
Some users may see output of database entries I don't use, such as equalizer
settings. Let me know if this happens.
Also let me know of international characters that don't translate. See table
for codes:

URL's in the "Comments" field will appear in the HTML as a clickable link. I
wish iTunes had this feature!
