The popular music manager iTunes offers a great and easy way of creating playlists. It takes a few clicks to create and fill a playlist in the iTunes software. There is however no official way of exporting playlists from iTunes to the computer system. This might be interesting for users who want to transfer playlists to other devices or systems that cannot be connected to the iTunes software, e.g. a mp3 player or cell phone from another manufacturer.
Enter iExporter. The software program for the Windows operating system comes with the means to easily export playlists to the computer system. The only restriction of the program is that it currently only works with native mp3 files.
The software has to be connected to iTunes upon start. This is done by clicking on the Connect to iTunes button. The software will be opened if it is not open already and the two tabs playlists and artists will be populated. The playlist tab contains all playlists that are currently available in iTunes. The artist tab on the other hand offers the possibility to export selected artists from iTunes. This did not work on the Windows XP SP3 test system though.
iExporter is a great software for iTunes users that want to export some or all of their playlists to their computer system.

does it export all the metadata as well? especially the ratings are important for me.
Hey Martin,
Thanks for the detailed review of my program and that you like it :)
If you want you can always email me a screenshot of any error you get when trying to export through use of Artists! ( any other remarks are also welcome )
@Yogi: No it will not export anything else then mp3 files, but any suggestions are welcome… you can post them on the CodePlex project site.
