that script didn't work for me. here's what I did.

1. ran dir f:\wmamusic /ad /b /s>wmalist.txt - to list all folders under my wma music folder.

2. manually removed the top level folders from wmalist.txt, which were the first lines, e.g.; the first 2 lines in the example below

F:\wmamusic\artist1

F:\wmamusic\artist2

F:\wmamusic\artist1\CD1

F:\wmamusic\artist1\CD2

F:\wmamusic\artist2\CD1

...

3. replaced "&" with "and" in wmalist.txt because "&" would cause the batch script to stop reading the line at that point. e.g.; Kate & Anna McGarrigle -> Kate and Anna McGarrigle

4. ran this batch file:

@echo off

for /f "tokens=*" %%i in (f:\wmalist.txt) do (set in=%%i) & (call :next)

goto :EOF

:next

set line=%in:~12%

set out=f:\mp3cnvrt\%line%

MD "%OUT%"

"C:\Program Files\NCH Swift Sound\Switch\switch.exe" -format .mp3 -settings .mp3 CBR 192 TRUE STEREO FALSE -addfolder "%in%" -outfolder "%out%" -overwrite ALWAYS -convert -SHOW -EXIT

======

script notes:

set line=%in:~12%

set out=f:\mp3cnvrt\%line%

these 2 lines change F:\wmamusic\artist1\CD1 to f:\wmacnvrt\artist1\CD1, etc.

I had to add MD "%OUT%" to keep switch from asking me if I wanted to create each new folder.

hope this helps someone else.
