I have a lot of mp3 files and would like to print a list
using word (or perhaps another programme, whichever
works...)>
The problem is that I don't know how to paste files names
into words appart from making a print of the screen. I
have thousands of files so i cannot use the print Screen
button it would take me far too much time and anyway we
cannot see the files names properly.
Has anyone got the answer to this problem? Thanks.

Put a batch file containing the following two lines of code into the base or
"root" folder of your music files

del tracklisting.txt
dir /s /b *.mp3 > tracklisting.txt

Run the batch job every day, and then look at the file "tracklisting.txt" it
generates. How's that?
