Hi All,

Looking for some Software or the best method to copy the track name of an audio file to txt/notepad?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers Guys

I think I know what you mean, but can you be more specific?

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.

You can do it in mp3tag, but its def a hastle

Maybe Karen's Directory Printer.

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 (!).

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:

If it's a Rich Text file ... only text if it's a plain 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.

I want to Thank you all for your input on this
I will give them a try

Thanks Again
