No cygwin environment to get cat/awk for many years now, just
python and ruby on my win32 systems these days.

The snippet above was tested on 10.4.7 using an export from
iTunes 6.0.5 on an i386 Mac Mini and not an export from Scott's
system. 

I originally had FS and RS wrapped inside a BEGIN block, but was
able to squeeze it down to what you see above. Scott sent me his
export privately and I still had to translate the newlines, but
my awk example broke and had to revert to using a BEGIN block:

  awk 'BEGIN{FS="\t";RS="\r"}{printf("\"%s\" %s %s\n", $1, $2, $4)}'
