Dir Listing Help

Hello ALL,

I'll make this simple, after using Nero or any program to copy data to a CD, files are out of order.

Explaination:: I'll put about 150 MP3 files on a CD, and print out a listing of the MP3's, no matter what program I use, they show the files in Alpha order (which is fine) I burn the cd and print out a DIR of the tracks to get the number of the songs and it's always out of order. I can use the same program again and its a different order from the first cd. It's not by name or file size or date I sort them by each and they still didnt match the order on the CD.

My Qusetion is:: Is there away to view the data on the CD in the order that is on the cd. I look in windows and of course it's either by Name, size,date.

Thanks ALL help is welcome......

 

I'm not sure if this is what you're after, if it's not I apologize.

If you want to do a DIR from the command prompt and wish to always have it sort alphabetically you can use the switch /ON to sort the files. i.e you write:
DIR /ON
in the directory you wish to list.

You can see what switches are supported by the DIR command by typing:
DIR /?
at the command prompt.

As an aside, the /? switch works on most command line commands.

 

I tried that and it still did a dir of Alpha sort.

Thanks for trying thou.....

Blessed Be

 

How about creating a batch file:

[dmo21.bat]?
dir %1>C:\Temp\Filelist.txt
cls

Place it in your root directory, create a shortcut and place the shortcut in your Send To folder. Now you can right click on your CD drive and capture a file list. HTH.

 

Hi Luga,

When I right-Click on my CD Drive I don't get a sent-to option.
I edited the Reg to add it to the Right-Click option since there are some there like
Open
Explore
Command Prompt From Here
Piechart

So I added it when it tries to run it says
"Windows cannot find dir.exe
This progam is needed for opening files of that type "

I guess since the command line looks like this
dir %1>C:\Dave\Mp3List\Filelist.txt

It is looking for DIR.exe

Is there away around this??

 

Before you burn your files to CD place them in a folder (any name you like) and burn the folder to the CD. Now you can expand from the CD ROM drive and right click the folder to get your listing.

Check your PM's for my reply to your message.

 

That works great, by adding the mp3s in a folder then burn the CD.

Thank You for your time with this...

What does
dir %1 do....

Is there a way to get just the file names not the file size and date with the name??


Thanks Again

 

In a perfect world it would read your mind and produce a result exactly the way you wish to see it, but...

 

LOL


Thanks Again
For your help.
