Playlist Import to Excel PowerToy offers an easy way to import audio and
video playlists (with the .asx file name extension) from Microsoft Windows
Media Player into a spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel 2002 or later.
After the playlist is imported to Excel, you can sort and retrieve
information for each item in the list, including the name, artist, genre,
and bit rate of each file, using the AutoFilter and Sort features in Excel.
You can also export the file to HTML to quickly create a Web page containing
a catalog of all the audio and video items in the playlist. Additionally,
you can chart and graph statistical information about items in the playlist
and use the information in other ODBC-compliant programs (such as Microsoft
Access).
