Hello, This has me stumped. I'm a DJ and I need to compile a list of my songs for customers to look through, but I'm unsure of how to copy and paste 'just the titles of the songs' into a word doc and print this out.
I have large files full of mp3's and wma's, but am unsure of how to just copy and paste the 'text only' part and get that to a workable format that I can print out and even create a small file containing only the names of the songs to email my customers.
ANY help would get me going in the right direction. Thank you.
p.s. I'm using an '03 or newer copy of windows XP with Microsoft office 2007.

Use DirToText on your files, then paste it into Notepad for editing, then paste it into Word.

There's not an easier way of doing it I'm afraid...

DirToTxt. downloadsoftware4free.com. Download Free Software. Search shareware and freeware downloads.

Actually, there is.

Here's a step by step tutorial, to get the information you desire.

Open a command prompt:
Press start->run->cmd

Navigate to the directory:
First choose the drive you want to navigate, like:
Then navigate to the directory by using cd <insert name here>

so if you have your songs stored in F:\Music\2009, you would type:
, or
Execute one command
Now that you're in the directory, you want to create an export of all the files in this directory, right?

Type in the following command:
Explaination
if you run dir, it will show you all the files, with filesize and other handy information. If you use the /b option, it will only show you the filenames and path of all the files in that folder.

By adding > files.txt, it will put any output directly into the file called: files.txt.

Bonus information
By adding a /s as parameter, you can also make it include subdirectories.

Try typing dir /? in the command prompt to see its help, and read through what all the options do. By not adding the > files.txt you can test its output on the fly until you have the right parameters for what you want.

If you want to have a neat list of your directories in that same textfile (for example, you have folders by artistname and album, then try out the command tree.
Note how I use 2 >'s here.

> = create a new file that contains the output of the command before it.
>> = append to this file with the output of the command before it.
