At a command prompt issue:

cd\

dir /s *.mp3 >c:\mp3list.txt

That will find all the mp3 files on the current disk and save it to
mp3list.txt, open the file and print it.

A couple of alternative commands to John's suggestion:

dir /s /b *.mp3 >c:\mp3list.txt
dir /s /b /on *.mp3 >c:\mp3list.txt

1200 songs will get you some 20 sheets of largely empty
paper. You could create a multi-column layout by
opening mp3list.txt with Excel, then do some copying
and pasting, perhaps in landscape format.

I, too, use Karen's directory printer and it works fine. I find it helps to
use directory printer to get the entire list but it has lots of things I
don't need. I know they're all .mp3 files so I don't need the suffix. I
have my artists in Folders so all songs in a folder are by that artist so I
don't need the artists' names as part of the list. So I select All and
choose Copy. Open Word and Paste it there. Then I use the Replace
function. First I list .mp3 as text to Replace and leave the "Replace with"
blank. That does a global delete of all the .mp3 text. Within an Artist's
folder I use Replace and list the artist's name as text to Replace and leave
the Replace with blank. That deletes the artist's name and leaves just the
song title. I know who the artist is because I used his/her name as the
folder name that the songs are under. Works fine. Then I can decrease the
font size and use columns to get more listings on each page. I can list an
entire CD on one page. I then fold the page twice and stick it in the CD
envelope with the CD.
 
Thanks !
