Batch Command Option

Arno

I currently run Switch Plus 1.31 (licensed) through the GUI and would like to automate the whole process a little bit better.

I came to the conclusion that the command line option would be the way to go, but I keep running into issues.

Files do get converted when I specify the actual file name.

(IE🙂

"c:\program files\nch swift sound\switch\switch.exe" "c:\switch\input\test.wav" -convert -format mp3 -outfolder "c:\switch\output" -hide -exit

But how can I set this up so that it will look at a folder?

This way it will run a whole batch of files and output it into the output directory.

I looked at the Forum and tried some of the "examples" out there. But I can't get it to run.

I'm no script expert so please bear with me. I don't specify any of the settings yet, this will come later once I have it running...lol

This is what I currently have, and this doesn't work.

@ECHO OFF

set in=c:\switch\input\

set out=c:\switch\output\

"C:\Program Files\NCH Swift Sound\Switch\switch.exe" -format .mp3 -addfolder "%in%" -outfolder "%out%" -overwrite ALWAYS -convert -hide -exit

Can anyone give me a few pointers? I appreciate the effort.

Thx

Okay ... just shoot me ...

I got it working.

"C:\Program Files\NCH Swift Sound\Switch\switch.exe" -addfolder c:\switch\input\ -convert -format .mp3 -settings .mp3 CBR 128 TRUE JOINT FALSE -outfolder c:\switch\output\ -overwrite ALWAYS -hide -exit

But now I have another issue.

Is there a way to append something to the output file name for certain batch jobs?

I noticed the appendnumber variable, but can this be a specific text value?

So the out put without it would be test.mp3 but I would like to append the _orange variable to the clip so that it would be named test_orange.mp3.

Thanks
