Export for iTunes App Reviews

After many hours of searching I found this app and am very pleased with it! I have a new car with a USB slot and was amazed at how difficult it is to get clean playlists and sync iTunes with a USB stick. This app comes very close to perfect. I especially appreciate the option for a backslash since my car requires that, even though I do my iTunes on a mac which uses front slash /. A few improvements I would like to see: 1. When you open the app, among the playlists is "Apps". Why? It shows all of my iPhone and iPad apps (somehow thought these were music tracks) and they all were all red. No big problem, just dont select "Apps". But this shouldn’t happen. 2. It seems that the export to files and the export to Excel happen separately for the playlists and the albums (you need to do your playlists and albums in two separate steps). Why not have it do both things at once? For making the actual music files, its it’s not a big problem. But for making the Excel document (this is a really cool feature BTW), its a problem. I first created Excel for Albums, ok. Then wanted to ADD to the spreadsheet my playlists. I could only create a new file or overwrite the old one. I couldn’t append the list, or have both lists appear in Excel together. 3. Allow separate options for the playlists and albums, for example, whether to create the m3u file. For playlist, obviously you need that, but for album, you dont. This is needed if you implement suggestion #2. Typically people will want all playlists get the m3u file, and all albums don’t. But whenever I update I my playlist I have to remember to check the “m3u” option, then when I update albums, uncheck it. Another simple way to solve this is with two checkboxes: “create m3u”, and “only for playlists”. 4. When creating a playlist, first look to see if each track already exists in another playlist or album, and just reference it in the m3u file. That way you avoid duplicate tracks and save space on your USB. 5. When the iTunes library changes, there’s no way to refresh the tables. If I had opened the app on Playlists and had NOT yet clicked Albums tab, it will refresh (read iTunes) the first time clicking on Albums. But then if a playlist changes in iTunes, clicking back on Playlists doesnt refresh it. The only way I can find to refresh from iTunes is to close the app and re-open it. A simple solution is to put a Refresh button in the toolbar. 6. Lastly, please also provide an Artists button. It would do the same thing as Albums but organizes tracks by Artists instead. Maybe also Genres.

And it’s all iPhone apps inside it which ain’t even music. The log is full of ‘Cannot export song xxx: File is DRM protected’ errors. Also it’s ignoring which playlists I’ve checked when exporting.

This worked great for me I was looking for an easy program that was simple to use that I could export playlists in order from iTunes to a SD card to use in Audi A4 MMI. It worked great. I like to to sort mine by Custom Format: Track No, Title, Artist, Album Great App well worth the money.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have spent many dozens of hours trying to update my Sony Walkman playlist from iTunes, but nothing worked until I tried the easy to use Export for iTunes app. What a great app. I cannot express my gratitude except to say thank you and to write this review. I can now easily and quickly add songs to my playlist. Using a playlist, instead of just albums, is essential for use in my car.

Just cancelled my SiriusXM and want to use USB memory stick in the car instead. Wasn’t a big iTunes user and wanted something quick and easy. This filled the bill. At least on my 2016 Cruze the USB looks just like an iPod or iPhone. Works great and groups, sorts, by playlists, albums, etc. I intend to use it with iTunes more now that it plays so welll in the car.

A full featured toolkit for iTunes Export. Allows custom reformat of track naming. Export using playlists or albums. Export or create an Excel spreadsheet. Change MP3 or AAC bitrates. Many advanced features. Easy to use - Click, Click, Export. The Author supports his work and is just an email reply away.

Exactly what I needed; easy to use, does precisely what it says it will do. Keeps playlists together and makes my music more easily ported across systems. Couldn’t be happier! Thank you for developing this app!

If it wasn’t for this app, I wouldn’t have been able to use my Walkman (WZW273S - Waterproof for swimming) to its fullest. I spent like 8 hours looking for a solution. What it does that is so perfect? It just exports the playlists directly into my Walkman, then I just select a playlist (Swim, Running, etc) and I’m one happy active guy :) Thanks, please keep it up!

Just the app I need to export my playlists to a USB drive so I can listen to my music in the car. Very easy to use. Just make sure to downlaod the songs from iCloud to your computer first. After exporting the playlists, the songs can be deleted from your computer.

Great tool but am disappointed that for some reason, it didn’t bring over all the Artwork associated with song in iTunes. It consistently doesn’t bring over art for certain songs or Artist although Art is posted in iTunes.

Like many other reviewers, I wanted to pull my music to a USB stick for moving around, listening in my car, etc. The process of finding and moving music is maddeningly complex. But once I found this fabulous little app, it became a simple process that takes only a couple minutes to set up (then time to transfer the music). Each time I want to update my CarMusic thumb drive, I just fire up the Disk Utility, erase everything on the thumb drive, then open up this app (which accesses all my iTunes playlists), choose the lists I want, and click go. Love it!

I have a 500GB music library in which most of it was 320kbs, I purchased this app to help me batch convert to reduce size. Its been going for 18 hrs now and working like a champ. The only thing I wish I could change is it puts every album in a separate, solitary folder instead of grouping by artist like iTunes does automatically.. The index is much larger but the volume used is much smaller.. Fair trade off Another good thing is is saves your album art as a seperate file inside the folder.. $7 well spent!!!

Works well, flexible settings, easy to use. The convert to mp3 or aac feature is great, particularly the bitrate down-convert feature which is a huge time saver for exporting from an iTunes library having lots of lossless tracks that would otherwise have to be converted for use on e.g., a USB drive for a car. The only setting that I’d like to see added is an option that will downcovert high bitrate lossless tracks but not convert already low bitrate (say 320 or less) mp3 or (256 or less) aac files - my car reads both, so all I need is down conversion of the lossless tracks during export.

This app does everything it says it will do and more. I was having trouble getting album art to show up on my car display. Export for iTunes took care of that with ease.

This app worked perfectly for creating a playlist on my Sandisk Clip Sport - the how to video on youtube was important too, because I needed to make sure the settings for line endings (CRLF) and filename were correct. Thanks!
