I want to print a list of .mp3 songs from a folder. I tried doing a select all and copy to Word, but that copies the whole .mp3, not just the name and title. Any suggestions?

Here is what I just did: I made a snip with the Snipping Tool. Imported that into a Word file, sized it, and this is the result: (this now is a snip of my Word page).

Scroll down to the section titled [How to list files with "dir"]

That site is a great source for learning the command line.

To get a list from the File Explorer, select the files you want (Ctrl-A for all) then hold the SHIFT key and right-click on the selected files. From the context menu that appears, select "Copy as path". Then you can paste the names as text. However, you will get the full path name for each file.

My preference would be to use the Command Prompt as suggested above. There are a lot of options for the output format (type "dir /?" for a list). For example:

dir /w *.mp3 >%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Mp3-file-list.txt

Thanks guys for the input. The link gueb provided is quite useful. But I still think my snipping approach is the easiest.
