[AccessD] cataloguing mp3 albums

Kathryn

I feel that it would be simple to do, but would be tedious to explain how.

If you'd post the complete list; I'll do it and return an mdb with the code
that I write to do it.

> Got one that I haven't a clue about trying to convert. I've got a text
report (about 50 albums of varying numbers of tracks) Sorry for length of
message but I wanted to put in several to show you the general patterns of
the data.

Access as a database. It only has to be done once, one I'm finished ripping
all my CDs, as any new ones I don't mind entering by hand. I want to be able
to print a report that would be in order similar to below, plus a report in
order by title of the track, with what album it is on and the track number,
and lastly, by the artist, sub-ordered by track then album, also album then
track. I feel confident I can do the queries and reports, but need one of
you to help me with turning the text to tables. I do notice that I've got
some natural breaks, to break the components apart - the period for the
track number, the first - is the split between song title and the artist,
and the ( ) for the time track (which I do want). Note that Simon and
Garfunkel have a second - that might cause a problem, but when I've got the
final text file, I can eliminate those easily before doing the conversion.
