Title: MP3 organizing software.
Post by: Fordman on May 26, 2009, 05:20:34 pm

Hello All,

Is there a piece of software that will read my MP3 folder, then convert the Artist, Album, then song number, Song.MP3 to something that is printable, like in notepad or wordpad?

I'd like it to read like this or close to it:

Aerosmith:Greatest Hits

01 Dream On
02 Love In An Elevator

and so on.

I have seen lots of MP3 organizing software, but nothing will let you print.

Any thoughts?

Fordman

if your files are physically named with all the things you want to have in your list, then a simple "dir /s >mylist.txt" from the command prompt would get you something close to what you want:

Code: [Select]

You can even add a "/b" to the above command line switch to get rid of the file size and date information, which would clean it up even more.

Not exactly elegant, but it sure is easy (and free!)

My jukebox software does not do this, but perhaps some other jukebox software can read in all your MP3s and then create a list of the library once everything is already loaded.

Might be worth asking in the Audio/Jukebox/MP3 section to see whether anyone knows about such software.
