Julian, you're hurting me. At least awk lets you do a one-liner...
% awk -F \t '{printf("\"%s\" %s %s\n", $1, $2, $3)}' < itunes-export-
file

If you know perl or python or some other more general scripting

with good regular expression support, its probably easier and cleaner

way to go. But, if you don't know one of those languages, learning
a little bit of sed or awk (or even cut) can get the job done and is
a lot easier to pick up than a new (general) language...
Jim said in a later post that it's tab delimited.
In Python, create a file, say 'reader.py':
------
#!/usr/bin/python
import csv
import sys
filename = sys.argv[1]
csv_reader = csv.DictReader(open(filename, 'rb'), delimiter = '\t')
for row in csv_reader:
print '"%s" %s %s' % (row['Name'], row['Artist'], row['Album'])
------
Takes one argument from the command line.
So if given executable permissions:
./reader.py songs.txt
Otherwise:
python reader.py songs.txt
