One method to pull directly to Excel is to use Tushar Mehta's Excel Add-in.
This allows filtering and sorting once you have the data in Excel.

http://www.tushar-mehta.com/ scroll down to Add-insDirectory Listing.

Download the ZIP file and un-zip to your Office\Library folder.

Go to ToolsAdd-ins and checkmark Tushar's add-in.

TM will show up on your Worksheet Menu Bar.

Click it and browse to the folder of songs.

Then send me, OFF list your email and I will send.
I will NOT respond to any request made ON list.

Personally, I prefer to use Jim Cone's fine Add-in called "ListFiles" for
this sort of thing..........
It returns the filename, filetype, filesize, date, a total count of the
files, and a hyperlink to each file.

Post the URL so's we can download and try Jim's fine Add-in.

Thanks, Gord

Alternatively, for the DOS holdovers:
1. Open a command prompt window, and change to the proper drive
2. Type DIR mp3list.txt and press Enter
3. Open mp3list.txt from Excel

If you have extracted Directory.xla to your Office\Library folder and loaded
it through ToolsAdd-ins you should see TM just to the right of Help on the
menu.

Re-trace.....perhaps you missed a step.

With Excel closed..........

1. Download the ZIP file from Tushar's site.

2. Extract to Libray

3. Open Excel and go to ToolsAdd-ins.

4. Find "Directory"(no quotes) and checkmark the option box and OK.

Gord,

Just sent you a copy in a separate email.
No URL in existence yet so...
For others interested, the add-in is free upon direct request.
Remove XXX from my email address.

Send a direct email request to Don.

His email address is in his signature--right under his name in his messages.

nothing wrong with the other suggestions but John Walkenbach has also done
this specifically for mp3s, adding a twist of using namespace information to
extract details like bit rate and song length.

Thanks for posting this Robin.

Didn't know(or forgot) about John's MP3-specific utility.
