Well... I guess the drag 'n drop version is only for Windows

I must get a PC with proper MSDos installed on it, and see if my little normal Batch file will work in that too, I hope it is okay for all Windows versions Dos-modes.
I only have Windows XP and I have been told that it is even less Dos than Dos-Mode, it's only emulated.

I wonder if you guys would do a favour. If you have a different version of Windows than XP, could you run the normal line as a .bat file,

for /F %%I in ("%CD%") do dir /B /O *.mp3 > %%~nI.m3u

in a folder of mp3s and check if it creates the .m3u playlist there with the folder name?

And then post here and say if it worked or not, and say the version of Windows tried on. Thanks.

If someone has real MS-Dos and could try it on that too that would also be great (& say the Dos version).
