Its a folder full of music. Want to be able to give it to a DJ as a list but don't want to have to type out all the names. Using Windows Vista.

If you want a text file you can do the following:

1. Hold shift and right-click in the folder with the music you want to list
2. Select Open new command prompt here in the menu presented
3. In the new command window: dir /b > playlist.txt
4. Open the new textfile in text editor of your choice to re-arrange if neccessary.

/T

dir > list.txt

Will output the current directory contents to a text file from a dos prompt....

Oops. Beaten to the punch. Stupid you tube, distracting me.
