searching media files
Hi there,
I am wondering if any one can guide me on this request. I have a file server and I would like to make a report of all the mov, mp3 or all media files on this file server. I do the manual search but can not save or export the search in an excel file. If there is an easy way of doing this will be highly appreciated.

P.S.
this palylist must include all of your media so if you have a whole heap of media prepare for a reasonably lengthy wait

I am not sure how to create the play list. Looks complicated.

Is there any other way to do this perhaps through a batch file or script.
the playlist is created merely by lining up everything in your library as if it is about to play and then saving this list as an asx
creating a batch file or script will be much more complicated for you

To import the play list is well explained on the link. My issue is I am doing this for multiple file servers and I do not know the location of these files. Thats the purpose of why I need to search the content and make the report. Any ways thanks for your help.
