I want to print a list of all the folders in my MP3 folder.

[Nebben]

All of my MP3s are organized by folder by artist and album. like, \MP3\Artist\Album.

I want to print a list of all the artist and album folders somehow, so that I have a list of all the albums that I have, for various purposes.

What's the best way to do this? I can't really figure out a way other than printscreens of the folders in explorer, and it would seem there's a better way to do it.

Launch command interpreter, switch to the directory of your choice.

Run:

dir /A /B > c:\yourdirectorylisting.txt

IIRC, that'll do it.

<edit>

If you want to recurse and print all subdirectories, add /S after the /B.

All directories like GeekDrew said:
dir /A /B /O /S >Y:\output.txt

All files in the directories and directory itself:
dir /B /O /S >Y:\output.txt

All files with directory info, but the directory itself is not included:
dir /A:-D /B /O /S >Y:\output.txt

Another "dos" program you might find useful is called tree. Give it a shot, it actually makes a handy tree diagram of your folder structure.

That's pretty useful! Thanks!

Apparently Tree result cannot be properly formatted into txt. Is there any other way to stored the tree results?
