[FredLUG] Re: How to print an MP3 library listing?

[Kermit Jones]

With amarok running, you can call a DCOP function from the command line like
this:
 Code:

dcop amarok collection query "SELECT title FROM tags" > mycollection

That will give you the titles in the collection. You can change up the query
to extract more specific results.
