Can I export my song list in a readable format?

Hi

All I want to export is a list of the artist and titles of her/his songs.

I've tried to export it to a txt file but it's practically impossible to read, it would take hours to trawl through it when all I want is something simple.

I don't have any spreadsheet programs on my computer so I can't export it to an .xml file.

Any help out there?

Many Thanks

dizzykooky,
Looking at your playlist or music library in iTunes:
Make sure the fields you want to use are showing. If you want to add or remove any fields, use View > Options to get it the way you want. If you only want artist and title, as you mention, then uncheck everything else. (You can always recheck them later if you wish.)
Edit > Select All
Edit > Copy
Now switch over to a program such as Microsoft Word. Edit > Paste Special > Unformatted Text.
It may take a little editing to get it formatted the way you like, but it is way easier than dealing with the entire .txt file.
The spreadsheet would be better, since it makes it easier to sort, etc, but since you don't have it, a word processing program such as Word will do.
