Looking to export my music library file list onto a searchable format such as Excel that I can store on a cloud based drive.  Sometimes I forget all my albums and repurchase them. Have been trying to export the file list to Excel and not had much luck.  Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance.

Maybe? I've not used it, but it seems like what you want.

That said, you can also create a full list of folders if you have your music in a 1 folder per album structure (I usually have Band\Album for bands I like that I have multiple albums of) in the command prompt.

cd to your Music directory and type

dir > filename.txt

That will output a list of everything in that folder (but not subfolders) into a file named filename.txt
