Re: Convert file names to a usable list?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

FYI. This is how I do mine.
download and install free "Agent Ransack"
search for *.mp3 it will give you every Mp3 on your computer.

Save (to clipboard) and drop into platform of choice (comma delineated)

I drop mine into MSworks database
The only irritation is that it saves entire path, the workaround is
"find/replace"

so for yours=c:\documents and settings\gary\my documents\my
music\artist\artist - title.mp3
I would "find" c:\documents and settings\gary\my documents\my music\
and replace with blank
You are left with artist/artist title.

Be careful using Excel as a database, sorting columns/fields
an errant keypress may have you lose database integrity.
