LISTING TITLE ATTRIBUTE OF FILES

[windsurferLA]

I use a .bat program derived from that described at this link to compile
a list of the files in the directory being viewed in Windows Explorer.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q321379

The code is as follows:
ListFiles.bat
@echo off
dir %1 /-p /s /o:g-d > "C:\Documents and Settings\Michael\My
Documents\__Scratch\_images\ListsFiles.txt"
start /w notepad C:\Documents and Settings\Michael\My
Documents\__Scratch\_images\ListsFiles.txt
del C:\Documents and Settings\Michael\My
Documents\__Scratch\_images\ListsFiles.txt
exit

QUESTION:
Is there a way to change the code of the .bat program so that when the
directory includes .mp3 files, it lists the titles and durations of
those files?

The information I have on the MS-DOS command "Dir" does not list any
"switch" for displaying the title or duration attributes.T

Title and Duration are not attributes. They are Details used in column
settings and sorting.

These details are present inside the particular files as meta data.

You'll get 51 of them.
