Try again!

OK, so I received a bit of criticism for my submission to macosxhints.com on how to find EMI tracks in your iTunes library. I suppose it was well deserved. What was I thinking when I left the part about searching for all the EMI sub-labels as an exercise for the reader? So here is what they were all looking for...


Download this file with all the label names, cd to the directory where the file is found and run this command. Make sure you get it all in one line!


find /Users/jescala/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music/ -name *.m4p -exec mdls -name "kMDItemCopyright" {} \; | grep kMDItemCopyright | grep -i -f emi-labels.txt | wc -l

NOTE: It is possible that some of these label names may appear differently in the metadata for the song files than the way I have them listed in emi-labels.txt file. It is impossible for me to get this 100% correct without a sample of every EMI song Apple sells. If you come across any variations on the label name that I missed, let me know so I can update the file.
