O.P. Music List
I'm trying to send a list of the cd's that i own on my computer to my sister, so she can tell me the ones that she wants.

Now the problem is, im trying to do it without using an album thingy on winamp or itunes as i have a whole pile of dowloaded music as well and that would just stuff up the list, so i want to just copy the names of the folders as they sit in my overall music folder.  ie the folders are all named
Artist Name - CD Title
or CD Title if its a compilation cd

Now i tried just selecting the folders and copying them into word, but that didnt work, and im just stumped.  Im sure there's a really simple way to do this but i just cant think of it.

Thanks in advance for the help

RE: Music List
In iTunes, go to File > Print and you can customise your options here:

RE: Music List
On a Windows machine, open a cmd prompt, navigate to your music folder, and type something like dir > list.txt?
was put impeccably into words at DebianDay for me last Saturday, by Knut Yrvin of Trolltech - adults try something once, fail, and then are like "ffs this doesn't work". Children try, fail, and then try again, and succeed - maybe on the second, or even fifth retry. But the thing is that they keep at it and overcome the problems in the end.

Ok that seems to work but the problem is my music in on the F drive and i can seem to get to it through the cmd prompt, and im not sure how.  I dont really use the cmd prompt much, if at all.

Thanks

RE: Music List
Ok let's say all your music in the folder : f:/music (and subfolders)
type in the promt: (tried to make it the way it looks like...)
code:
C:\Document and Setting\foaly>F:
F:\>cd music
F:\music>dir /w /s > list.txt

so basicly it's
code:
F:
cd music
dir /w /s > list.txt


that should make a list of all the files in the directory f:\music

I think I explained it way harder then necessary...
