Did you explain to them that setting folder depth would automatically list only the folders and files in that category of folder? As I understand it, you don't have metadata, but you do have consistent folder depth. So if your Album folder was depth 3 from root of C:\, depth 3 should provide a list of everything in the Album folder.

You can try Media Monkey and if unsuccessful, search for "alternatives to Media Monkey" and contact the authors of those applications.

It is possible someone on Stack Overflow might be willing to write some script for your to post-process the DIR output. You would have to be very clear to them exactly what output you wanted.

I am sorry, but this is not possible without postprocessing of the exported results.
You could export the path and the name of each folder of your music disk and then use some copy and replace functionality from e.g. excel or write a vb script in order to split the desired information from the exported folder paths.

Maybe we will add some additional metadata columns like "Artist" or "Album" to UltraSearch similar to the Windows Explorer. But I cannot promise that this will be added in the next version of UltraSearch.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I can generate a list with the DOS command but it’s not pretty and it goes on for 60+ pages just to list the artists’ names, album names and song titles. I was hoping to generate a clean list (like a column in Excel) that could fit on 10 pages or so without having to type in all the info one-by-one into Excel or Libra Calc, etc.

Thanks.

Hi Gale,

No, I didn't share your additional points with them but thank you for them as I will now.

How do I reach StackPoint?

Thank you so very much for all your kind help.

Stack Overflow is part of Stack Exchange. On reflection, you might get a more friendly response on their SuperUser group.
