I had one, but can't find it now and don't remember what it was called.
I'm looking for a program / app that will read a folder and list / print all of the sub-folders (artists \ albums) and files (tracks \ songs).
also, can anyone tell me some of the other files / types that may be included when folks rip a CD? (I recognize most music formats: MP3, WAV, Flac, etc and playlists (M3u) and images jpg, bmp, etc) but I've seen some that I can't open or view, like: NFO? and others)
Also, I was given an APE file that I cannot locate anywhere else (or find the CD for sale anywhere!). It is one file with many tracks, is there a way to convert it to MP3 tracks? I'm not concerned with the quality degradation from APE to MP3 (I'll keep the original) but I want to play it in my car stereo (I can play MP3s from a JumpDrive).

Put the ape into foobar2000 and then rightclick all the tracks and choose to convert to mp3 and it will make them all based on the track number and name, and it seems to do a good job making them gapless as well.
.nfo is something you can view in notepad, MS decided to use the extension for a system info thingie even tho it was already used by the warez scene for years beforehand... Bit rude of them, but just right click, open with, notepad.

From a command prompt
dir /b /s *.* > tracklist.txt
Will produce a complete directory listing (including subdirectories) into a file called tracklist.txt.
*.mp3 for only the MP3 files.
Add a /ad to only create a directory listing (and not the specific files)

I like to use Directory Printer from Karen's Power Tools.
