Quickly find your EMI music

Last week we asked if you will upgrade the EMI tracks you currently own to the new DRM-free versions when they become available in iTunes next month. Just over 2,500 of you said you would, so now the question becomes: How do I easily find my EMI music?

MacOSXHints has the answer. Just launch Terminal and enter the following:

"mdfind -onlyin ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music
"kMDItemCopyright == '*Emi*' kMDItemCodecs == '*protected*' "

Note that this trick assumes your music lives in the default location. You can output the result to a handy text file by appending > ~/Desktop/myEMI.txt to the end of the command above. Cool!
