Copy all the files of that compilation to one folder. (e.g.: c:\my music\best compilation)
open a cmd window (Open the Windows Start Menu, select execute and enter "cmd")
Navigate to the folder with the compilation (Iuse the example folder from above as example - adapt the commands to your needs or post the path or copy it from the explorer address field):
type in:
c:
press enter.
type in:
cd "\my music\best compilation"
press enter
type in:
dir /b \* \>list.txt
press enter.
The list of filenames is now in the file "list.txt" which can easily be edited with notepad.

you could also write an export script in Mp3Tag
```
$filename(txt,utf-8)$loop(%_path%)%_filename_ext%
$loopend()or $filename(txt,utf-8)$loop(%_path%)%_filename%
$loopend()
```
great mini tool for that job for all kind of files:
