how to export evernote notes to scrivener

Of course, they are not named after those notebooks but instead use numbers so I had to look through each one to find the folder that corresponded to the right notebook. Inside that data folder were sub-folders for each “notebook” I have in Evernote.

Library -> Application Support -> Evernote -> data So, I popped open Finder and went to my home folder (the one named for your user name). If I could find the media file on my system I could send it to Shaun. Then I read that Evernote stores a copy of all media files used as standard files on my computer (not in some secret secure database).

I scoured the Evernote forums, knowledgebase, and Google and didn’t find an alternate export option. The only format I could export to is a proprietary XML format that only Evernote can read. So, I selected the audio note and chose “Export…” from the File menu. I started in standard Mac fashion by trying to simply drag the recording out of Evernote onto my desktop… nothing. When we returned home I opened up Evernote on my Mac to snag the audio file and e-mail it over to Shaun. So far so good, but that was only the first step. I immediately opened up Evernote for iPhone, started a new audio note, and within a few seconds the melody was captured and sync’d up Evernote online. Sure enough, the following morning Shaun woke up and the melody had returned. In his own word, “I’m not too old to write music, just too old to remember it.” Hoping it would return to him I told him I would record it with my handy-dandy iPhone and then send it to him later. A few hours later before the concert, it was completely gone from his head. While at a church in Iowa the other day Shaun was messing around on the church’s piano and wrote this beautiful melody. Right now Shaun is in song-writing mode preparing for a new album and a new round of completely free songs. Why is this a bad thing? Let me share my experience… Evernote only exports “notes” as Evernote-compatible files. However, as I was using Evernote the other day I realized one fatal flaw in the system. This has so many potential uses from comparison shopping to simple reminders. Evernote makes it so easy to take a picture, write a note, or record some audio on your iPhone and retreive it later on your Mac, PC, or even online. I suggest it to a lot of people, especially anyone who owns an iPhone.
