Computer help

[gimp]

Here's my problem. I have a lot of music on my computer. I keep it really organized. Artist -> Album ->then the song. And when you open the album part, I have the track number, title, duration and size (and of corse the filename, I don't think I can hide that). Anyway, all the info in there is right. The problem is, it won't show up in the ID3V tag. So when I try to create an html playlist from winamp, it looks lousy. I never cared for the winamp generated playlists when they looked right. I wan't something different.


If your in dos, and you go to the directory and type 'tree' or 'tree /f' it shows it nicely, but I don't know how to save that text to a file.

What I really wan't to be able to do is run some script or something, and have it output the following in a html file. display the artist directory name, then the album name, and then the title of the song (the title that shows up in the title field, not the filname, although if it's really easy to have it show the filename I could work with that). I want it all nicely tabbed out and everything too.

If anyone knows a way to do this, or a place that I could find a script or something to do it, I'd really appreciate the help.

Thanks,

you can use output redirection to put the output of a command into a file:
tree /f > filename.doc

open the word file you put the command into(filename.doc)and format it how you want and save it as an html file.

if you cant redirect into a .doc file for some reason do it into a .txt file and paste it into word.

if you are slick you can write yourself a batch file that will take 2 arguments, one the directory to display, the other the file to save to.

OOh, sweet! That works great. Thanks!! I'm not to swift, so I'm not gonna make the effort on the batch file.
