how do I get to this DOC prompt??

Start | Run | cmd [enter]

If you're running Windows, just copy shntool in your c:\windows or c:\winnt directory.  For info about the different shntool commands, type at the DOS prompt:  shntool -h

you probably need the full path for shnlength.bat - unless that .bat file is in your windows folder too...

for instance c:\util\shnlength.bat

you might be able to just browse for it....

Can you be a little more specific with exactly what you did?

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.

Not too sure if it'll make a difference but try *.shn instead of *shn.
