#1 Save your current Music Bot Database into a seperate folder. I save mine as musicbot08202006.mdb (depending on the date that I am saving it)

 

#2 Download this program from my FTP site. mdbview_10_en.zip

http://www.jesusinme.us/programs/mdbview_10_en.zip

 

 

#3  Open the Program mdbview.exe  

 

#4   Click File Open locate and highlight the .mdb file and open it up.

 

#5   Now you are seeing 4 different tables. (Do Not Touch them)  Simply go to the top menu of the mdbviewer program (beneath the File Window Help line)   See the button CSV?  Click it  and then click OK

 

What you have just done is exported the database information into 4 seperate csv files. The only file we need now is this one musicbot08202006.mdb - mysongs.csv  You can trash the other 3. and you can even trash the .mdb file. You are finished with it.

 

This is the only file we need.

musicbot08202006.mdb - mysongs.csv

or whatever date you are currently on.

 

#6 You will open this file with Word Perfect Spreadsheet,  in order to delete those last 3 columns. The only columns you need are the 1st TWO. (The two containing the Song ID numbers & the Song Names)

(I use Microsoft Word Spreadsheet since that is the program I have. Bill had to use Word Perfect Spreadsheet on his)

 

(after deleting the last 3 columns) 

Save AS  txt file

File > Save As    TXT

(I save mine as BotLib08202006.txt)

 

After Saving: Close the Spreadsheet

 

NOTE: In the database, The Music Bot Program changes all commas to 6

So what I do is open up the final TXT file with Notepad and I Replace ALL  6  with a comma.

Find what: 6  Replace with: ,

 

I also Replace ALL .mp3 with nothing. This will remove the .mp3 at the end of the song's file name so your library page will look nice & neat.

Find what: .mp3  Replace with: (do not enter anything here, leave it blank)

 

After I have gotten the look I want, I save it and copy and paste the whole thing into another TXT file that I call mysongs.txt

 

Now you have a TXT file that you can upload to a web site server for others to view your library.

 

I do the same procedure each time I want to update my library and I simply add the new additions to my mysongs.txt file

 

Let me know if you need any more help on this.

 

Peace & Love,

Gary

 

Many Happy Blesssings
