201952 2003-12-20 18:43:00 Hi Steve,
Can you copy & paste it into a word program & then print from there?
Not sure if that is what you are after.

201953 2003-12-20 19:36:00 There are programs out there which will let you do it, such as Treeprint which was made by PC Magazine (USA).

An option is to go into a Command Prompt (Start Menu-Programs-Accessories-Command Prompt), and use DOS commands to navigate to the correct folder.

For example, if your MP3 folder was in the C:\MP3 folder, then you'd go:
"cd\ " - this would get you back to C:\ from whatever you were in
"cd MP3" - this would get you into the C:\mp3 folder.

Once you're in the correct folder in the command prompt, type:

"tree /f /a > folderlist.txt"

This should create a file in your folder of MP3s called "folderlist.txt", which you can then open in notepad/wordpad/word and print out.

All dos commands listed above have to be used without speechmarks.

There was also another thread on this topic recently here (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz).
