NEW: Tracks by Name Length to CSV v1.0

The award for longest track title in my library goes to Slim Gaillard for his 238-character "Opera in Vout (Groove Juice Symphony) (live): Part 1: Introduzione Pianissimo (Softly, Most Softly) / Part 2: Recitativo E Finale (Of Much Scat) / Part 3: Andante Cantabile In Modo De Blues / Part 4: Presto Con Stomp (With A Floy Floy)".

The reason I know that is because I ran in to a few other long-titled tracks and thought they really don't need all that crap in there. Some of them have entire Wikipedia entries for titles. Who needs 'em? I'll sort 'em up and chop 'em down. But then my brain sent a memo reminding me that you can't sort by title length.

Tracks by Name Length to CSV will make a CSV (comma-separated-values) text file listing tracks sorted by the length of their title (greater than 50 characters). The CSV will list the title, album and artist of the tracks as well as the title length.

Of course, a lot of Classical albums are up there length-wise. I won't edit those. It's the weird Zappa and Slim Gaillard stuff that better beware.
