In the Music Info pane you can get at the Image/Lyrics/Notes and Details 
for albums or tracks.  Select the track you are interested in and then look 
in the Details pane.  If you don't see the Music Info pane you can turn it 
on from the View menu.

Once you're in Access you can make reports or save the tables as CSV 
files.  Excel can also save in several plain text formats.  look at the 
options under Save As in both programs.  A blank artist in the tracks 
database means that the album artist applies.  This way if you change the 
artist for the disc it changes properly for the tracks too.
