oh sheesh! I thought I'd be selecting the mp3 files if I did that because if I 
did want to select those files and paste them sojmewhere I'd do exactly the 
same thing. of course it's easy and it's the obvious thing to do but I didn't 
think it would work. guess it wouldn't break anything if I tried it.

   That is exactly what Tim is saying and that is exactly what I have explained 
will work if you just go do it.

Tim, are you saying that you can select all and copy to clipboard inside of a 
file folder and get the titles rather than the mp3 files themselves? normally 
when you do that you get the files themselves rather than just their names.

Hi,

Although Terminal is fun and useful for this, I believe that E T's suggestion 
is the quickest and most efficient for this activity.  Regarding Simon's dive 
into Mac/AD integration.  Great fun.  I love that kind of thing.  It really 
works quite well considering the different platforms.

If your wanting the names of files etc in a document,
Then I go with what I think it was Jonathan said,

Use the terminal.
But in a slightly different way,
Use LS to list all the files but if you can pipe that into a file then you 
could copy the contents of that file out to your email

Subject: Re: selecting text on a Mac

no. it sounded like more work than copying the individual titles primarily 
because I would have to open another program. I suspect this is just personal 
preference.

I know next to nothing about terminal so I didn't understand those instructions 
at all. I'm glad to know there are several ways to do it. maybe one of these 
days I'll learn about the terminal. I used to use a unix shell back in the old 
days. meanwhile the one I tried was pressing enter and copying the text. 
couldn't do them all at once but it worked great.

Well, assuming you have open shell at current location service then you could right click 
on the directory and find open terminal window at current location. Then you could use 
the "ls" command or possibly ls -l if you need the details.

Then you can copy the output from terminal.

ISn't it wonderful how there are so many ways to do this?

Best wishes,
