Exporting Track Metadata
Producer Dashboard stores a wealth of metadata about every track in your catalog. You can export all of it as a CSV file for use outside the app — whether that is for label submissions, distribution platform uploads, or your own records.
What is included
Section titled “What is included”The metadata export covers every data point Producer Dashboard tracks for your songs:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Song name | The track group name |
| BPM | Detected or manually set tempo |
| Key | Musical key (e.g., C minor, G major) |
| Genre | Assigned genre tag |
| Mood | Assigned mood tag |
| Stage | Current workflow stage (Idea, Writing, Mixing, etc.) |
| Bucket | Which project/folder the song belongs to |
| Tags | All tags assigned to the track |
| Created date | When the track was first imported |
| Updated date | When the track was last modified |
| Has bounce | Whether an audio bounce file exists |
| Has project file | Whether a DAW project file is linked |
| Collaborators | Names of all collaborators |
| Duration | Track length |
| File format | Audio file format (WAV, MP3, etc.) |
How to export
Section titled “How to export”- Go to the tracks grid.
- Select the tracks you want to export. Use Cmd+A (Mac) or Ctrl+A (Windows) to select all, or pick specific tracks.
- Open the Export menu.
- Choose Export Metadata (CSV).
- The CSV file downloads immediately.
If no tracks are selected, the export includes your entire catalog.
Using the export
Section titled “Using the export”Label submissions
Section titled “Label submissions”Many labels and distributors ask for a spreadsheet of your catalog with BPM, key, genre, and other details. The metadata export gives you this in one click. You can open it in Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers and reformat as needed.
Distribution platforms
Section titled “Distribution platforms”When uploading to distribution services, you often need to provide metadata for each track. Having it already in a spreadsheet makes this process much faster.
Personal records
Section titled “Personal records”Keeping a backup of your catalog metadata outside Producer Dashboard is good practice. Export periodically and store the CSV alongside your other backups.
Analysis
Section titled “Analysis”Open the CSV in a spreadsheet app to analyse your catalog:
- How many tracks are in each stage?
- What is your most common BPM range?
- Which keys do you gravitate toward?
- How many tracks have collaborators?
This kind of self-analysis can help you understand your production habits and diversify your output.
Filtering your export
Section titled “Filtering your export”The export respects your current selection. If you only want metadata for tracks in a specific bucket:
- Filter the tracks grid to show only that bucket.
- Select all visible tracks.
- Export.
The resulting CSV contains only the filtered tracks.
CSV format
Section titled “CSV format”The export is a standard CSV file that opens in any spreadsheet application. The first row contains column headers. Each subsequent row represents one track group.
Fields with multiple values (like tags) are separated by semicolons within the cell. For example, a track with three tags might show: chill;lo-fi;ambient.
- Export your full catalog periodically as a backup of your metadata.
- Use the CSV for quick searches when you are away from the app.
- If submitting to a label, clean up the CSV first — remove columns they do not need and reorder to match their format.
- Combine with split sheet exports for a complete picture of your catalog and ownership.
