macro to create mp3 lists

[TANDEX]

Could VBA macro do the following task: create lists of mp3 files- scan
specified drive or folder for mp3 files, to decode the information that is
stored on each .mp3 file, from ID3 tags(artist, album, year, size), extract
this data and build playlists based on this data. The lists will be stored
as .M3Us (standard playlist format for MP3s)?

thanks

I've done much of this in Excel using VBA, so I would say the answer is yes
but I think the various media handling applications might do a better job.
The key file information is stored as text strings at the end of an mp3 file
so the info can be extracted but I'm not sure it is the most efficient way
to do the task.
