well I finnaly got the batch files to work. still a few issuses but It works so I'm happy for now (been working on it for days and having lots of problems) anyway I used these batch files
length
@echo off
cls
for %%f in (*shn) do c:\windows\system32\shntool len -u mb *shn
pause
exit
info
@echo off
cls
for %%f in (*shn) do c:\windows\system32\shntool info *shn
pause
exit
used the same ones for flac replacing shn with flac. all of them work. here is what is going on now.
when I right click shn info. it does it's thing and then some. it checks all the tracks multiple times (does this with length as well) so that when it is done I can only see the results for about half the tracks. also there is no log output (text file). I know these batch files don't show that. if someone could show me a EASY way to modify these batch files that would be great. as far as the dos not showing all the results for now I just copy the tracks that don't show up into a folder by themselves and check them there.
edit: just did the flaclength for one of my shows. it showed the results 13 times in the DOS window.
