directory file list

[Jeff Bolton]

here's my question....

does anyone know if there is any way to make a list of all the files that are in a folder? i want to make a list of all my mp3 files without having to manually type out each one, so that'd be great if there was a way. i don' t know if it is possible, i've looked everywhere, but if someone can show me in the right direction i'd be much abliged.

thanks,
jeff

I think musicmatch can do it but I am not sure.

you could just use dos cmds from your run/cmd window, u could use pipeing or redirection to send info to a file a printer or both

something like C: dir uwant*.* > fileuwant.txt

just fire up your cmd window and type help, fool around with some of those command kinda fun, if you can get what u want make a batch file for uself

You can do it in Winamp as well. Load the songs into the playlist, and just export it to an HTML file.
