I'm attempting to edit windows registry so that on right-click of a folder; shell has a Make playlist option which on-click creates a M3U file based on the folders MP3, FLAC or APE content.

For example:
Main folder - Bonobo - Days To Come
Sub folders - Disc 1 & Disc 2
I would like to be able to highlight both disc 1 and disc 2, right-click Make playlist and a single M3U file is created from both folders, preferably with the exterior dir name: Bonobo - Days To Come.m3u

I have tried the following in a .reg file:
Quote:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\playlist]
@="Make playlist"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\playlist\command]
@="cmd.exe /k \"dir /o:n /b *.mp3 *.flac *.ape > playlist.m3u & exit\""


This should make playlist.m3u which is does, however it's completely empty... what am I doing wrong? - can you fix and improve upon this to make my dreams come true?

Thanks!
