Got a cd with songs on it, need to get a list of the songs so I can put it in a mail

Cannae cut and paste and don't want to sit and type out a thousand or so song/album titles.

just need to specify your CD drive letter in the batch file

so instead of


erase mp3list.txt
dir *.mp3 /o:N /s /b >mp3list.txt


for example for me it becomes


erase mp3list.txt
dir F:\*.mp3 /o:N /s /b >mp3list.txt

ok well have you got all the mp3s in the same directory, with the album name as part of their filenames, or are they organised into seperate directories, with the directory names as the albums?

if its the latter, we can work with that i think

if you need to keep the command prompt open after the batch file is finished so you can see what its been up to, just add

pause

to the end of the file.

pause is just meant to keep the window open, not do the album listing.

does pause work for you?

you just right click the batch file and go to edit if you want to open it in notepad to change it

how have you been editing it thus far then?

ok our definitions of 'change' and 'edit' are obviously different. To me they mean the same thing. what do they mean to you?

Should be able to list just the album names, cant 'mind Razz' how at the moment though
