Unable to Export Apple Music Library with Specific Data Columns (BPM, Comments, Grouping)

am an Apple Music user seeking assistance with exporting data from my music library. Specifically, I want to export the following data: BPM, comments, and grouping. This data is important to me as I use it to organize my collection and for analysis.


I have attempted to use the old iTunes export functions, but it seems they are not available in Apple Music. I have also looked into finding a converter for the .db file that Apple Music uses, but I cannot find an official solution. I have some knowledge of Python, so I could consider writing a script for this, but I would much prefer an official guide or help to do it correctly.


Can anyone assist me with the following:

1. Is there an official way to export my data with the specific columns (BPM, comments, grouping)?

2. Can I obtain a current copy of my library with the extra data, and how can I ensure I can do this moving forward?


I would greatly appreciate a solution that is both secure and effective. If there is no official method available, I would be thankful for a recommendation for a reliable third-party solution.


Thank you for your help


Kind regards

Apple Music for Windows is a truly awful replacement for iTunes for anyone who does even the slightest curation of their library. I just tried in vain to see if I could copy data from the Songs layout and paste it into, say, Excel, which is one way of extracting data from iTunes. No such luck. Nor are there any other export provisions with Apple Music for Windows. I don't know how long you've been using Apple Music but you might cut your losses and revert to iTunes. You need to remove each of Apple Music/Devices/TV and you will lose any modifications you've made since installing Apple Music unless you are also an Apple Music subscriber, but at least you will have a decent media management platform again.
