Someone ::looks suspiciously in a certain someone's direction:: wants a list of all my mp3s. To give an idea of how long it would take for me to individually go through each and every one and jot down what I have, allow me to give you some dimensions of my largest (and, to be honest and avoid exaggeration, my main) folder of mp3s:
::right click, select 'Properties'::
::wait...wait...still counting...wait...::
mp3s (name of folder) Properties:
Size: 12.2 GB
Contains: 2,053 files, 94 Folders

So, my question is this: how the friggin hell do I copy the titles of all these mp3s to a file to send someone without going through it and typing up 2,000 entries myself!?!?!

My second question is directed to men out there. If you were walking around and your fly was not only not buttoned but you were hanging out of it, wouldn't you notice? Only 'cause this guy on the subway yesterday didn't seem to....

I know how to do it in unix. I wonder if there is a similar way under Windows. On a unix system, you could go to the main MP3 folder, and type "find | cat > outfile" and outfile would contain a list of every file in that subtree. find lists all the files in the subtree and cat writes a stream to a file. Are there similar commands in DOS?
