Is there any way to print a list of artists in my library?

-- one line per artist, and the total number of songs (not a detailed list) by that artist?

Apple TV / iCloud / Match-OTHER, Car Radio adapter?

Thanks, Georg. My personal favorite view is a listing of artists and albums (but no detail song list). It serves my needs perfectly. But it's >25 pages long. But we're about to go on vacation with several other couples, and I'd like to be able to just hand someone a 3 or 4-page listing of artists and say, "Tell me who you'd like to hear." But I guess there's no way to do that, huh?

You could copy and paste details from the songs layout into a spreadsheet, delete all but the Artist column (might be better to use Album Artist if you populate it consistently) column, sort the data, then produce a subtotal for each artist.


Or I could potentially write a script that gathers summary data like the number of albums and tracks for each artist and writes out to a plain text file.
