Help / Working with log book / Importing records from another application


If you already has log book records in other program or Excel spreadsheet then you probably want to move the data to Track-Album.

Track-Album can import records from CSV file (Comma Separated Values).

If you records has references to tracks then you shpold import those tracks prior to importing the records:
Select File/Import tracks menu, Select track files (to select several files press and hold Ctrl).

CSV file can be created using Microsoft Excel, here is the example: XLS file.
Open the XLS file, save it in CSV format and import content into Track-Album. (Close Excel before import or else it locks CSV file).

File format:

  • first line is a comment line
  • second line - a list of fields
  • further come data lines
  • date format: dd.mm.yyyy
  • time format: hh:mm
  • track names must be without file extension, just like they look in the track list

After CVS file is created:

  • select File/Import Records menu
  • select CSV file
  • Look through loaded data (problem lines are higlighted in red, moving mouse to them shows tooltip) and confirm it
