Making a word copy of my music files.

[steelcmg]

This has been bugging me since last night i spent a good hour trying to figure this out. I have about 4000 songs on my comp i use real player and all of my songs are very well organized. I have 1 folder thats for just mucic then in the folder it goes Artist folder, Album folder, Then song files.
Well anyway i want to be able to put all of my song names onto a word doc. I figured there should be a print list command in real player well i think there is in the full version but i dont have that yet. So i tried looking for away to expand the folders no luck there either. I then found a way that u can supposely go thro dos and use DIR > List.TXT well that kinda worked but still not really what i wanted.

To me this shouldnt be that damn hard to do it shouldnt be like pulling teeth to do this. I cant believe windows doesnt have this standard in there programming or maybe im just a dumbass and im completly looking over something. Anyway i would really like some ideas on how to do this i read somewhere about maybe needing a third party program but not sure where to look. Any help would be awesome.

I'm sure there's something more like what you're looking for, for sure there is if you were using unix/linux. I don't know what it is, though.

If you have WinAmp, it has a feature where it'll make an html playlist and list all the songs in your playlist in a webpage. From there, you could either be happy with that, or I'm sure you could copy and past it into Word or some other text editor.

yes thats all i wanted but im not sure why real player doesnt have that i have winamp on my comp maybe i should just import the songs to get that info. The only reason i was using real player is because its so easy to change the way the file names look so they r nice and neat.

enable cut/paste on a command prompt.

Open the command prompt, dir /o/p in your playlist directories.

Copy the text and paste it into word. may need some tweaking.

even easier.... at the command prompt in your music directory

dir /o/s > tunes.txt

Hit enter, it will create a text file with the output of the dir /o/s command. Open this in Word and Viola!.... the /s causes the dir command to list all files in the current directory and all sub directories....

mixed up my switches. /p is page /s is subdirs.

Been a while since I had to do anything in command line.

select all and paste into a text doc. done!
