Thanks! I will try this method too on my test tc.

so this sounds really dumb, but i was talking to a friend just five 
minutes ago and they said "why not just use chat gpt to write a python 
script to translate it?" I thought to myself that doesn't make sense 
since tellico CSV format is rather esoteric - which is why i hadn't 
thought of this before. LOL in any case i just had chatgpt export the XML 
into a SQL script, and loaded it into postgres. Once it was there, I 
exported it into the appropriate CSV format for import into tellico.

Sidenote: it would be nice if in the tracklist table dialog box, you can 
upload a tracklist CSV /there/ instead of having to have to import a csv 
with the table-in-a-column-with-different-delimiters format.

Cheers,
E

P.S. ChatGPT/Copilot scares me! I will be jobless soon if it keeps this 
up... XD
