I made a CD with more than 140 MP3 files on. How can I print a list of the
files on the CD in EXEACTLY THE SAME ORDER as they will play on the CD?
Command DIR does not work, as it lists the files in a predetermined order,
which is not the same as on the CD.
 
Are you able to determine what property of the file determines its play order? If so, please share.

Assuming your play order will be as they appear when you view the CD as
data, you can download Directory Printer (free) and put your CD in the drive
go there in Directory Printer and print it out. I choose to save it to a
text file. Then I open it with MS Word. With Word I can edit the file
names. Examples: I don't need the .mp3 part of the filename so I choose
Replace.... .mp3 with [nothing] (leave that entry blank). That does a
global delete of all .mp3.
If I have the files in folders under the artists' names I don't need the
artist name portion of the filename. I do a global delete of the artist's
name. You have to make sure you enter the Replace in such a manner it won't
delete the artist name of the folders.

Then I establish 2 columns. I reduce the font size until I can get the
entire list on one standard sheet of paper. Print that, fold it twice and
it fits nicely in the CD sleeve.
