Any applications out there (free) that will print out some sort of text list of all the albums/songs in my music library? thanks!

Open a DOS box

Use the DOS command for dir with your files extension.
Ask for a list within sub directoryies and either output to the printer or to a file.

something like

dir /b /s > list.txt

from the command prompt (Run 'cmd') ought to work. A file called list.txt will be in your directory of music (where you ran the command from) and you can print that file out. However, that commands prints directories AND their contents, and also the path. So depending what music program you use, it might have a better export option, but using dir with the right commands and re-directing the output to a file will get the job done still.

Use 'dir /?' to see what arguments are available.

thanks everyone, I will give these options a try. Just would like a good list of what I have to show someone else :)
