'- READ .MP3 & .WMA FILE PROPERTIES TO A WORKSHEET
'===============================================================================
=============================
'- MACRO TO :'- *1. SELECT A FOLDER - *2. CLEAR THE ACTIVE WORKSHEET* - *3. READ .MP3 & .W
MA EXTENDED FILE PROPERTIES*
'- *3. MAKES PROPERTY CELLS BLUE
'- ONLY EXTRACTS FILE DATA SO CAN BE USED ON ITS OWN. SHEETS CAN BE SAVED AS NOR
MAL
'- CAN THEN RUN MACRO "WRITE_TO_EXPLORER" (in another module below) TO *CHANGE*
PROPERTIES
'- Uses Windows Shell32.dll (Requires Tools/References .. 'Microsoft Shell Contr
ols And Automation')
'- Brian Baulsom July 2007 - using Excel 2000/Windows XP

'- Method (works on all files in a single folder)
'- 1. Run macro "READ_FROM_EXPLORER" below TO GET FILE NAMES INTO CURRENTLY ACTI
VE WORKSHEET
'- 2. Manually amend file details in the worksheet.Delete or hide rows for files
not changed saves time(can be left)
'- 3. Run macro "WRITE_TO_EXPLORER" (other module)
