How do you make a text list of all the mp3 files on your PC?

[glen]

The WinAmp playlist file has tons of extranious characters.
is there an easier way?

 

[EagleKeeper]

Go to a DOS root prompt
dir *.mp3 /s >> list.txt

repeat with other extensions and drives.

Wow, thanks!
I don't know DOS so well.
Where will that store the txt file?
Can you tell me more details?

 

[d33pt]

dir *.mp3 /s/b >file.txt

that makes it cleaner

The file will be saved in whatever directory you issued the command from.

It will make that text file in whatever directory you are in when you run the command.

If you run it from C:\ then it will make the file in that directory (C:\list.txt)

I've reccomended this program a thousand times here on this board.

You could do it the command line way, but there's this small little nifty program that does this called "Directory Printer". It's small, open. I love it, use it all the time. You can get all sorts of file information (created, size, etc.) or just the file name.

I use it. On the KeyserSoze scale of usability, I give it a 10 out of 10

What does /b do?

 

[glen]

I opened Tag&Rename to see if it had a function that would work.
It did!
It exports to a *.csv file which you can open in Excel or Word.

Hehe, I did it the easy way: Generated playlist with Winamp, copied all the text and placed in in a text file

That alos copied the directory path and other unwanted information.
