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

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 a playlist into Excel,
1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Windows Media Bonus Pack for Windows XP, and then click Windows Media Player Playlist Import to Excel.
2. Depending on your security settings, you may get a Security Warning dialog box. If so, click Enable Macros to continue.
3. Follow the instructions in the Windows Media Playlist Import Tool dialog box. (If you have already exported the playlist, you can skip step 3 in the Import Tool dialog box.)
Note Very large playlists may need to be separated into smaller playlists before they can be imported. Depending on the amount of track information in your playlist file, Excel can usually import playlists with up to approximately 4000 items.

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.
