If you're using a Mac, you can select all the audio files in a folder, copy, and then paste in a TextEdit (.txt) file.

If you're asking what I think you're asking, I use Directory List and Print Pro. Free for basic tasks like making and printing a list of all the files in a directory; upgrade covers more specific ways to sort those names.

Yes, though you want to use Paste and Match Style. Otherwise the computer tries to paste the audio into the text file (!).
Re: Audio file name to Txt
For a quick list on Windows, open a command prompt and type:
Example:
The list.txt file will spit out the names of the files in that directory. As a side note, the list.txt file will end up in whatever the current directory for the command prompt is (C:\ by default), so if you want it somewhere else you'll need to include the full path for the file too. For example, if you want it in the same directory as the audio files:
Code: Select all
dir "path of directory" /b > list.txt
Code: Select all
dir "C:\My Music\Beatles\Rubber Soul\" /b > list.txt
Code: Select all
dir "C:\My Music\Beatles\Rubber Soul\" /b > "C:\My Music\Beatles\Rubber Soul\list.txt"

If it's a Rich Text file ... only text if it's a plain text file.alphabeatles wrote: ↑Sat Apr 09, 2022 1:56 pmYes, though you want to use Paste and Match Style. Otherwise the computer tries to paste the audio into the text file (!).
Using this method, the file type is also included (example "song.flac"). To remove ".flac", press keys "Command + Option + F".
In the first field place the text you want to remove. In the other field, enter nothing (keep field empty). Now, press the "All" button and all the .flac text will be removed.
