Creating Music Lists?

[Clancy141]

Hi, I have about 250 songs and want to print out all the song names. Is there a way (aside from typing them all or copying the file names) to get all the song titles into a text file, for example, or some format that I could print?

Thanks.

Worked well, thanks.

I use a batch file for making listings of my mp3 disks after I've burned them. I have a shortcut on my desktop so that I can create a file list with the click of the mouse. With some modifications it can be used for listing a directory on a drive as well.

For a batch file, open notepad and enter the following:

dir [drive]:\ /b > C:\cd_list.txt

where [drive] is your cd drive letter. Save with a .bat extention to where you can find it. In Explorer, find the file and create a shortcut for it. Name it something descriptive (I use "CD file listing"). You can give the shortcut any icon you want (I use a CD icon for mine).

Then open the properties dialog for the shortcut icon. In the Program tab, check the "close on exit" box. If you want it to run minimized, in the "RUN:" drop down box choose "minimized". This may seem like a lot to go through but it really comes in handy.

Now all you have to do to create a list is pop the cd in the drive and click on the shortcut. A text file with only the long filenames will be created, in this case in the root of C drive, with the name "cd_list.txt".

As mentioned, you can use a variation of this for a directory listing on a hard drive. Just open a dos window and enter the line listed using the appropriate drive/directory path. Adding "/s" after "/b" will also include subdirectory listings as well.
