    Copying playlists to text documents

    So I'm calling a wedding in October for a couple that would like to see my playlists and live in SoCal, won't be up here until the event

    I'd like to e-mail them a list

    My music folders contain lists of my songs, WinAmp files, but when I try to copy them to word processing programs they want to copy them as music files

    If I try to copy them to my simplest text programs -- notepad and the stickies on my sidebar -- they won't give me the paste option

    How can I copy a list of just the titles, as text?

    The primary file I'm interested in copying has about 530 songs


    Thanks!

    Steve,

    I don't use this program, but check under one of the menus (file, edit, tools, whatever) and see if they support an 'export' option of some kind...

    Steve, an answer seems to be here in post #2 of this forum.

    The SafeHouse Forum


    I haven't tried it, but this piece of freeware might also do the trick. If it doesn't, you won't be out any money and very little time.

    Worked fine! That's why I thank you so big!

    Quick summary: Put the playlist into WinAmp, press Alt + Cntrl + G, that give you a web page with a text listing of tracks, artists and times
    Copy that to a text program
    Already e-mailed it off to the client
