You will find “Export …” in the context menu of tracks and playlists, in the selection bar, when several playlists are selected and in the function search. The “Export” dialogue offers:
| Format | What for |
|---|---|
| Playlist file (M3U8) | Order and file paths for djay, VLC and other players |
| Spreadsheet (CSV) | Title, artist, BPM, key and more for Excel or Numbers |
| Track list (HTML) | For viewing in the browser or passing on |
| Track list (PDF) | Print-ready in A4 format |
| Copy audio files | Original files as “Artist - Title”, e.g. for a USB stick |
| Audio files as ALAC (Apple Music) | Lossless as .m4a with tags and cover for import into Apple Music |

- Choose a format. Sonodex remembers the last format you chose.
- Under “Target folder”, set the folder with “Choose folder”. The folder is remembered per format.
- “Export”. A running export can be stopped with “Cancel”.
- At the end, Sonodex shows “… files exported” and offers “Open folder”.
With several playlists, one file is created per playlist. Streaming tracks without a local file are skipped.
ALAC for Apple MusicLink to “ALAC for Apple Music”
The ALAC export converts the tracks into lossless .m4a files with tags and cover that you import into the Music app.

Assistants can have playlists and metadata exported, but only to the folder you last chose here for the format in question (JSON uses the folder for CSV). Without a remembered folder, Sonodex declines. See Maintaining your library with ChatGPT.

Via File → “Export as” there is also “Portable audio package …”. For Rekordbox, Serato, Engine DJ, Traktor, VirtualDJ and USB sticks you use the Sync Center; the dialogue links to it with “Open Sync Center”.
