iTunesExport

Release 1.4.6 Release Candidate 4

iTunesExport is written as a helper tool to export iTunes Playlists to a data storage for use in a portable MP3 Player, which does not work together with iTunes.
The application exports the songs in the iTunes playlists and encodes and process them in a very flexible, customizable way.

In this release all featueres are complete, but it's far away from production state. Although it works, it needs testing, fine tuning and error correction, so please report errors that occur.

Features

• Select playlist, sort them and copy or encode (ffmpeg binary needed) the songs on any device.
• Make folders for playlists or store all sngs in one folder
• Create M3U/M§U8 playlists on the device
• Rename, number and tag the files as you like
• Normalize the audio volume (aacgain binary needed)

For use you have to select the desired playlists and then select a target folder, which can be any USB Mass Storage device or a directory at your hard disk. A click on the "Settings" button open a panel where you can customize the handling of the files. A click on the process button starts the export.

You can also export the files into a folder and burn the folder to a optical media from withhin the application.

Supported file types mp3, m4a. Protected AAC files (m4p) are not supported and are skipped. If you want to use those file, convert them into mp3 or unprotected AAC files (m4a) by burning them on a disc an reimport the CD.
