I am trying to figure out when you are typing media tracks info can you link
to your word, access or excel documents to keep a continueous list of all
tracks, without having to go back and forth from one program to another?
 
Media playlists are normally plain text files, which don't support linking?

You still not helping me, so what programs that will link, excel, access or
what!? Don't see what your site will help, if you are not with Microsoft.
Can anyone give me a point blank answer, please. Don't have time to read a
book of weird answers. To the point, please.
 
Graham's answer was correct in that if you are talking about a simple
playlist like an m3u-file, it is just a text file. So all you would have to
do is open Word, then using the "Open" menu select the m3u file and all your
songs would be listed by filename.

However your question is extremely vague formulated and you could mean
something totally different.

For starters, what do you mean by "typing media tracks info"? MP3 ID3v2
tags? Ogg XIPH comments? MPC APE tags? AAC tags? ... Or are you simply
talking about creating a playlist? The latter is what was assumed so far.

Also, what do you expect from the linking? A list of file names in Word? A
list of songs by artist? All details of all songs listed in a table?

No-one here works for Microsoft. I did not refer you to any book of answers
wierd or otherwise. With respect to Word with which this forum is connected,
it is not possible to do what you ask, for as I said media playlists are
text files which don't support links.

So as your time is certainly no more valuable than mine, the point blank
answer is that you can do your own web searches to find some possible
alternative that will do what you want.
