In over 40 years of programming there is one program that I have written over 500 times. A major handy tool for any ETL. It is a basic dump to the screen program. Where the outline for the descriptive details is printed to the screen. Then you do a screen capture of that data to a *.bmp file. On 2nd and subsequent passes this Bit Map file gets displayed then the “Mp3 meta data” details gets overlayed. The Cls command clears the screen and resets the cursor to top left so the next mp3 details can be easily seen.

I claim that this is the 2nd bestest program on the planet for it’s simplicity and wide usefulness. I did a great number of cable system and telephone system billing conversions. ETL needs simple dump programs. The quicker you look at the incomming data the better.
The Best program on the planet is of course my Desktop Search.
