you could open a command window and type dir *.mp3 > filelist.txt

or in Mozilla or Netscape put file:///c:/ in the address bar, navigate
to the directory and print from there.

A quick and dirty way without any new software is from a DOS shell:
Click Start, Programs, DOS Prompt or click Start, Run. In the Run
box, type "command.com" without the quotes and press enter.
(Type CMD if WinXP)

Navigate your way to the directory where the files are located, and use
the DIR command to list the directory and use switches to control output.
/a shows ALL files (hidden, system, etc.) dir/a
/o (letter o, not a zero) sorts them alphabetically dir/o
/s shows subdirectories dir/s
/b bare format: Just the long filename, no size, etc. dir/b
Add the command ">list.txt" to send the output to a text file "List.txt".
(Double ">>"'s makes the DIR command append the output to an existing text file)

So if you want a list of EVERY file on the C:\Music folder sent to a text
file that you can edit, then use the following command:
dir c:\music /a/b/o/s>list.txt

Or search for "directory printer" or something similiar on your favorite
software or freeware archive. Dozens of little programs exist to do this;
find your favorite.
