Magnus,
I've got a folder tree like this:
SFX
  ABC
      01
          01.mp3
          02.mp3
          ~
          99.mp3
      02
          01.mp3
          02.mp3
          ~
          99.mp3
      03
          01.mp3
          02.mp3
          ~
          99.mp3
  DEF
      01
          01.mp3
          02.mp3
          ~
          99.mp3
      02
          01.mp3
          02.mp3
          ~
          99.mp3

etc etc

All the files have metadata, but it's less than elegant (they were ripped through itunes), and I want to clean up the data.
What I want to do is to create a text file for each folder, named <root> <subfolder> <subfolder>.txt and have the current <title> data exported to each line of the text file.
So, the first text file will be called 'sfx abc 01.txt' and will have 99 lines of data. The next file will be 'sfx abc 02.txt' and so on.
Is there a quick way that I'm just not seeing, or am I going to have to do it for each folder individually?

Bruce.

There is currently no feature to generate multiple files at once, no.  :( It might go a little faster if you do it all in one sweep to one big list, and then manually copy/paste lines from this file to create the smaller files, that's the best tip I can give you right now. :ashamed: I might consider implementing multi-list functionality in a later version anyway, thanks.

Oh well... couldn't have everything. Then, you'd have nothing to strive for! :)
