I need a print out of my M3U (Playlist file)

[Wik]

Hi I need to make a print out of my m3u file. I have a 1400 song playlist on a small computer I put in my car. Now it would be nice to be able to print out a numbered playlist so that I can look at the list to see what number a song is so that I can just punch it up.

I do not have my LCD display set up for it but even if I did it would still be handy to have a list of the songs that I have.

I need something that will let me print the playlist out on my printer and have them numbered.

Well for now I will just open the file with Word then have it auto number each line and I can make a print out from there. Is there any other way?

Open your playlist, click "Misc" then "Misc Options" and "Generate HTML Playlist" (or hit ctrl+alt+G). The generated file is NOT numbered, but it does list all your MP3s in order. From there it's a fairly simple task to number them (try copy/pasting the song listing into a .txt file, then importing the whole list into a column in an Excel spreadsheet and going from there).

Now the question is if we really want a driver out there flipping through several pages worth of mp3 listings to find the song he wants to listen to ;p

Thanks Ladi I will give that a try. I never messed around with a playlist much before so this is all new for me.

So you are saying that I should not be flipping through several pages of songs while punching it up on the keypad and talking on my cell phone in rush hour traffic?

One question for ya. When you say open the playlist and generate a HTML file, what program do you use to open it? Mine just opens with Windows media player.

Ok I found that option in Winamp and it does make a nice html file. So I am all set, thanks again for the help.
