  1. I am using your trial version of Switch in order to determine whether or not to purchase the software. Specifically, we need to be able to call the command line process in order to convert .wav files into .mp3 files. I am running into an odd problem when I run the command from the command line window and I'm not sure if this is a limitation or bug in the trial software or if it will also appear in the full version as well. I typed in the following command 3 times, specifying a different .wav file each time. It appears to work for the first file or two, but then it seems to ignore the .wav filename that I am specifying and it is doing a conversion of a different .wav file that was specified one or two command earlier. "c:\Program Files\NCH Swift Sound\Switch\switch.exe" -convert -format .mp3 - outfolder g:\a\WavToConvert\output\ -overwrite ALWAYS -settings .mp3 CBR 64 TRUE JOINT FALSE -hide g:\a\WavToConvert\0127162452_00.wav "c:\Program Files\NCH Swift Sound\Switch\switch.exe" -convert -format .mp3 -outfolder g:\a\WavToConvert\output\ -overwrite ALWAYS -settings .mp3 CBR 64 TRUE JOINT FALSE -hide g:\a\WavToConvert\0123112821_02.wav For example, I might run the first command above, then the 2nd command, then another command with a different .wav file, but when I run the 3rd command, it ends up converting the .wav specified in either the 1st command or 2nd command, ignoring whatever .wav file I type in the 3rd command (and the .wav specified in the 3rd command DOES exist) Is this a buggy version of Switch (i.e. is there a newer version that I could upload)? I read some of the other postings regarding the command line, and I notice that you mention that Switch is not really a command line tool, it's really a GUI tool with command line extensions, so you do not plan on upgrading the command line functionality to include such things as being able to determine when Switch has finished processing a file, returning some type of return code to indicate the status of the file, etc. Is there any other software that you have or that you would recommend that can convert from .wav to .mp3 files in a truly command line manner so that some type of return value is returned?
