the ability to export the tags list to a csv file
the ability to export the tags list to a csv file

@Bill thanks - that's a compelling argument

Getting a CSV file of data would make Bliss so much more useful. I use Excel all the time to analyze data and being able to export CSV from Bliss would be extremely useful and value added even if there is no feature to re-import the data back into Bliss. In Excel, I can sort, filter and summarize data to help me make decisions around consolidating Genres, spotting duplicates across different libraries, spotting Artist Name inconsistencies, spot missing data en-masse etc. It would not be a loss for Bliss, but rather a giant complementary service and, as you probably know, it would be super simple to program CSV export code to dump out all the data in CSV - Please, please add bulk CSV field export to Bliss - it would make Bliss twice as useful to me and anyone who can work with data to get results.

@Errol - you can also search and edit the tags on the Tags page. Is that any use?

I could then search and edit the tags.
The ability to import the corrected file would also be a bonus -
That's cool - note that differing album counts are often because different software counts albums in different ways depending not just on the content of any one tag, but also which tags exist (some may use COMPILATION, some may use the file paths, etc.).

It'd be great to have an export function like this. In my case, I'd use it as a simple way to compare databases. Over the years I've found myself with 3 databases of music built from different sources, manipulated by a variety of music managers. A simple album or artist count has a different number for each one but it's not clear if this is due to missing albums or different tags and I'd want to have a way to compare before I settle on one database as the definitive one.

Obviously I'd prefer bliss to provide the controlled correction environment! Let me know how it doesn't...

I like this but wouldn't there have to be a way to import back in after corrections -- list could be sorted by blank title, or artist, or album to facilitate a more controlled correction environment

What do you want to do with the resulting CSV?
