[dba-Tech] RealPlayer db format?

I don't know about the real player database, but I've got an excel macro
that will search a location (whatever you tell it to search) for MP3 or WMA
files, and list them all by folder name, artist and track name (although I
suppose it depends on your naming convention in the "save as" options).

I imagine it'd be easy enough to get this data into access if you wanted to.

Works well enough for me to give to people who want to "swap" mp3's.

Let me know if you want a copy, I'll post the code. Have to be tomorrow as
it's on my work pc.

Hi Arthur,
I couldn't even find the database for RealPlayer's library. It wasn't where
the preferences said it should be.

One suggestion would be to see if MusicMatch Player can import it.
MusicMatch's library is an mdb file. If that doesn't work (I coouldn't try
it since I couldn't find RealPlayer's library) another thought would be to
ave RealPlayer load it all into a portable player and then use MusicMatch
and suck it back out of the portable player into its own library.

Does anyone know how RealPlayer stores its data? I would like to inhale my
Real db into Access, with all the disc and track info. I have approximately
1000 CDs recorded so far (1/3 the way through the stack) and I would love to
have all the info in an Access db.
