Anyway, I was going about it all wrong. Someone had asked on a
list what music we listen to while running, so I exported my
running playlist. When I opened it, I saw that it was an XML file
(although I subsequently discovered that it's actually a plist
format), so I wanted to extract song titles and performers from
the list.
'Export Library ' exports the entire library as xml plist, but If
you have a playlist selected,
'Export' gives you the option of exporting as a text file. That
might have been the quickest route.
I had totally missed that; I coud have then imported it into an
AppleWorks spreadsheet, deleted the columns I didn't need, and
exported it as a text file.
After all the help I got here, I then remembered that iTunes is
scriptable. It took me about five to fifteen minutes to write a
script that got the information directly from iTunes.
But your solution was also pretty good.
And actually along with the text-file method , one of the two the
best ways for my needs.
Since OSX has xsltproc built in,
I have absolutely no idea what that is.
