The Windows version of MusicMaster has an export design editor that you can use to create customized exports for your music library. The design editor includes a feature for importing pre-made export designs. Rather than having you build the needed export design manually, we've provided a couple design templates you can import, greatly simplifying the process.
The design template files are named "MusicMaster_CCC_MS2ASC.xml" and "MusicMaster_XStudio.xml", and are placed in the folder (directory) where our application is installed. Locate this file and follow the steps outlined below.

If you are using the DOS version of MusicMaster, refer to the the MusicMaster DOS Export topic for details on exporting your music library instead of these instructions. |
Steps to Load and Use the Export Design
1.Copy the MusicMaster_CCC_MS2ASC.xml or MusicMaster_XStudio.xml file to your MMWin folder.
|
If the export is for Maestro, copy the MusicMaster_CCC_MS2ASC.xml template. For dcsTools.com products, including XStudio, you can use either template but the MusicMaster_XStudio.xml template is recommended as it contains the additional fields Album and Year. |
2.In the MMWin folder, find and open MMExportDesignEditor.exe.
3.Select your database and click Open.
4.Switch the Design Type to Library Export via the drop-down list.
5.Click New. Do not name or adjust the settings on the following screen - just click OK.
6.Click File | Import, select the file you copied in step 1 and click Open.
7.Click File | Save, then File | Exit.
|
After importing the template, you may need to review and make a few changes as field ID's in the xml document may be different than those in your database. |
8.In MusicMaster, open the station data and go to Dataset | Library | Export. Here, you'll see either New CCC MS2ASC or XStudio Export export design, depending on which file you imported in step 6. Select it, check the categories you wish to export, set your path and file name (we've set them initially to a default value) and click OK to export the file.
