Re: How to print mp3 content list?

If you are running windows, the you could use the "dir" command in cmd )command prompt) to list all the contents of the directories and then pipe the results into notepad to print. If you are on a Mac, then you could do the same with the "ls" command. Use /help or "man" commands respectively to get full list of options with those commands.

Some information on the dir command and attributes are here ,

MS-DOS dir command help

This command will work from the command prompt in any version of windows.

For example , if you want to send the list of directories and all subdirectories and files to a txt file type this

dir /b /s >myfile.txt

You can name the .txt file after the > anything you want.

The Dos "Tree" command will output in a nice list format as well.

Use the /F switch to list files as well as folders and the /A switch to restrict output to show only ascii characters.


Pipe the output to a .CSV for manipulation with Excel or similar.

so presuming you wanted to list the contents of the D: drive on your PC the syntax form a MS-DOS command line would be

Tree D:\ /F /A > D:\list.csv
