Add text with line breaks to iTunes' comment box
Authored by: fracai on Dec 08, '06 11:42:32AM

Note that line breaks are a pain when dealing with a plain text export of the iTunes library.

In the past I've kept only a subset of my music, mostly online purchases, on my computer with the full library on my iPod. With a new computer purchase with a bigger hard drive I copied the iPod music back over (perhaps a hint to submit on the process I used).

Anyway, I didn't want to lose anything in the transfer and merge so I the plain text export to get a list of all songs in my library, all songs copied from the iPod, and then all songs in the new merged library. I was able to diff the lists as I imported files to ensure nothing was missing.

Anyway again, comments with line breaks cause the plain text exported records to wrap to the next line. There are relatively easy ways to get around this, but I thought it'd be useful to anyone who processes their library as a text file.
