Label printing for MP3 playlists?
 

Okay, here's what I'm looking for, and I have downloaded about 20 different cd labelling softwares, none of which really offer it:

I want a program which will import an MP3 playlist (about 130 tracks--in small font, obviously, and just track number and title, not artist, album, etc)and put it on a CD label. NOT a jewel-case insert, but the round label you slap on the disk itself. Nero sorta does this, but it only imports the playlist into a single column which is obviously designed to go straight down the middle of the label (and therefore has a large gap where the hole would be) rather than being broken up into two columns on either side of the hole in the middle.

Does this exist anywhere and if so, can it be used in Win2K?

Thanks for any help you may be able to offer.

Can't you just do this in Word or WordPerfect and print it onto a label?

130? :weird:

you could export the playlist to HTML and print that off. don't ask me any more. i'm at college now.

My playlist is in .m3u (I think?--whatever file type Winamp playlists are saved as) format. Is there a way to convert it to text so I can import it into my regular CD labelling program? I can't get CD templates to work in Word.

Yeah, usually I have about 130 tracks on a 700MB CDR. I encode my MP3s using RazorLame and VBR. I got my entire CD collection--with some judicious editing of songs that truly suck--plus some extras off KaZaa, onto 13 discs. I just have a very hard time remembering what all is on them. :p

Well, I won't ask you (since I certainly don't want to task a college-drained brain :D ) but for anyone else, how would I go about exporting the list to HTML? And importing that into a label printing proggie?

Ahh, you are leaving them in MP3 format. I was picturing 130 itty bitty files.

Winamp has an option someone in one of those four buttons at the bottom to export an HTML playlist. Try using that, and then copy-paste into Word. You should be able to get that to work.

Okay, I'm probably being really obtuse here. I'm seeing options to save the list as an .m3u or a .pls, and that's about it. I admit, not knowing either what a .m3u or .pls format is, I could be missing something obvious, but there's nothing there that jumps out at me as "export to HTML."

In the playlist window, press ctrl-alt-G. This should open an explorer window with your playlist in it, all nicely formatted in HTML. (Or right click on the misc button, select Misc --> Generate HTML playlist, same thing. Not exactly obvious...)

Also, the .m3u file is just a text file, you can open/edit it in notepad...:)

Thank you very much for your help. Yeah, I don't think I would have figured that one out on my own.

Now to figure out what font size will fit 130 tracks on a single label...
