After much wailing and gnashing of teeth, I found two solutions I can recommend for creating song lists from your music/karaoke collection... In my case, it was ~88,000 MP3+g karaoke files.
I had several false starts, trying software that should have worked but didn't, along with many that were fake or malicious sites and tripped off my antivirus software.... I found MediaMonkey was the key (http://www.mediamonkey.com/). This is an awesome free product that will scan your folders and then allow you to export the new playlist to CSV, XML, even native Excel Spreadsheet. I found it did a very good job of parsing artist and title information... I did discover that it was not finding my Zip Karaoke files (which in my case is about 200GB). So that got me searching for a program that would bulk extract zip files. I tried 7Zip and got close, but it bombed on the volume of folders, I think. WinZip also bombed out. Then I used WinRAR (http://download.cnet.com/WinRAR-64-bit/3000-2250_4-10965579.html) and it worked like a charm and in a fraction on the time that the others took to unzip the files files... After Unzipping with WinRar, Media Monkey can see all my files and I am able to export that list directly to Excel where I can clean it up a bit.
These products have paid and free versions. I was able to do what I needed with the free versions but am so impressed I may buy their paid versions anyway. Hope this works for others who want song lists of their collections.

A web developer or someone good with HTML can put together a page that will pull right from the VDJ database. I had some proof of concept working before, but became to busy. I pulled out of some of the karaoke work, so I didn't have as much interest.

If you create a playlist with your karaoke files, and save it, you can try to use my tool I wrote a while ago.
It is able to read the playlist/ history list and creates a CSV or XML file.
Note: The tool will only read all history files by default. But you can open a plalist through the menu too.
Just give it a try ;)
