Here¹s a simplistic script, Terry. It asks you to choose a specific playlist
and then creates a new TextEdit window with the playlist¹s name and the
names of all of its tracks. It would be easy enough to tweak it to include
artists, etc, if you want that info, too. It would also be easy enough to
assemble a large text file containing all playlists and their corresponding
tracks.

HTH,
