    Default Windows Media Player 11 Album List

    I'm looking for a way I can print out a list of my albums in either text or preferably a spreadsheet.

    I've found a plugin (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...iaInfoExp.aspx) for WMP9 but that won't work (unsurprisingly) with WMP11.

    Any ideas?

    If all ur mp3's are in the same folder.
    Create a new text document,type

    'dir /b *.mp3 > myfiles.txt' (without quotes)

    where mp3 is the file type and myfiles.txt is the output filename.
    Then save the file as 'names.bat' (without quotes)

    Now place this bat file into the folder where your mp3's are and run it.
    A txt file will be created with a list of all the mp3's in the folder that it was run.

    Hope that helps

    Edit......
    Just tried this again but instead of 'myfiles.txt' type 'myfiles.xls' and it will save em in a spreadsheet file

    If nature always takes the easiest route, what's easier...?
    The creation of billions of galaxies each containing trillions of stars each with their own solar systems, some with planets that have evolved civilisations with billions of different life forms. OR The creation of just your imagination?

    Handy tip mate thanks.

    I recently also found out how to create a quick and easy m3u playlist which i think is worth sharing...

    Create a new text document,type

    @echo off
    dir /o:n /b *.mp3 > Playlist.m3u

    save this as makem3u.bat

    just drop it into the folder of the mp3s you want to make a playlist of and run it.

    If you get them in WINAMP you can press "ctrl+alt+g" and it will generate a html list for you

    Just tried this myself and used "dir /b > myfiles.xls" for the bat and got a list of all albums. Thanks for the pointers.
