Is there a way to export MP3 information into a text format of some kind?
For example, can I take my entire collection and make a list showing all the artists, all the albums they have, and the song titles in each album?

I ask because I'm going to be "DJing" a small dance party next month (the guy asked me to bring sound equipment, I said why not DJ the whole thing. Anyway, I want to give people a list of songs to choose from. Anyone know a way to do this?

Yep, easy.
Start emplode and select the Tools --> Export option. This allows you to save a CSV (Comma Separated Values) file of your music database which you can import into most database or spreadsheet packages. With some sorting and deleting you can create almost any list you want. Note that most of the useful info in this database comes from the ID3 tags, so these need to be accurate and complete. If not, such an export provides an easy method to find typos and inconsistent tag information .
