Whenever you have to list folder contents or the files in a directory, metadata might be of importance. This applies in particular when displaying an overview of documents<\/strong>,\u00a0listing your personal MP3 collection<\/strong> or printing the complete directory structure<\/strong> of your image, audio or video files<\/strong>.<\/p>\n For example, you would like to list your complete music collection of MP3 files in a folder including song title, artist, album, year recorded, length of song and so on. When creating a directory listing of your documents the file list might include author, date created, date modified, number of pages, number of words and characters etc. and in the folder listing of\u00a0your image files you might want to include the date and time taken, location of your photo, image format, image size and so on.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n All this information is called “metadata” and is used to describe, organize and archive digital media. The metadata or meta tags are very helpful for searching and archiving data.<\/p>\n Some standard formats of metadata are \u00a0Exif,<\/a> IPTC,<\/a><\/strong> ID3 tag<\/strong> <\/a>which are particularly used for image, audio and video files.<\/p>\n The software Directory List & Print Pro enables simply and fast\u00a0listing,\u00a0printing and exporting folder and directory contents including metadata and other file information. In order to list and print the files of a folder according to your needs Directory List & Print Pro reads the meta information from your files. The metadata is selectable and grouped in Exif,<\/a>\u00a0IPTC<\/a><\/strong>, AUDIO<\/a>, VIDEO<\/a><\/strong> and DOCUMENT\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>tags.<\/p>\n Watch the video below “How To Create A Printable List Of All MP3 Files In A Directory” to learn how easy it is to list folder and directory contents including metadata.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\u00a0<\/h3>\n
