You can export all the data from the MA:
Right click on the Inventory->All Data->Export to CSV

Hi and thanks for your reply,

I converted my album to csv and changed the needed
data. Then I filled the header but when i got the
uploaded file back from this page http://www.mtgo-stats.com/convert_coll/em there are some errors like:

Error processing ## Owned column not found

or

Unable to find header Count
Unable to find header Foil
Unable to find header Name
Unable to find header Edition

I used exactly these header: Card Name Cardset # Owned # Foil Owned

Can anyone help me, please.

With best regards

OK,

it´s not longer important, because I´ve found a very much better App -
sorry for promo: MTG Wishlist. And it´s free - if you want.

In this I´ve imported my Magic Album List and with this App I can even see and compare the prizes of different onlinestores.

It´s a bit tricky too. My tip for import is to construct a new empty list in the App. Then it will create the correct folder. Copy your file in this folder. Import in App and delete the empty file. Because if you create the folder by yourself with a filemanager on your phone, the App won´t recognize it.

Hi bolav,

yes i can help :-)

there are several difficulties with converting your magic album inventory to decked builder.

maybe you can show/send me the csv-file you'd like to import, if it's just a one-time problem.

I had to solve the same problem: i love to manage my collection with magic album (best software!!! *thumbsup*), but for building decks or accessing my cards on my smartphone, decked builder is my way to go.

I built myself an MS Access Database, with (nearly) "automatically" converts the exportfile from MA into an importable file for decked Builder. There are some workarounds i had to figure out though - for example some differend card names ("Ae" in "Aether" or the Names for DFC, which arent the same in both tools) or the correct Setnames...

Hi Topace,

I have the same problem as bolav. I tried to convert the column names and even the DFC but I did not figure out there are some different card names in use.
I would be glad if you could help me with your MS Access Database converter.
There are more than 20,000 cards in my inventory and there is no chance to add them all by hand.

Thank you so far
