Title: parameters for 'send to'
Post by: trott on July 06, 2006, 02:27:56 am

Hello all,

I'm trying to configure a batch file for nero's aac command-line tagger to apply library fields as tags to mp4 audio files.

However, I can not find anywhere how to pass library fields to an external program. (only FILENAME seems to work)

If I go to send to / external program and I set it up like this:

(http://www.leminator.org/bindl/jrmc_1.jpg)

(where test.cmd is a simple batch file which only shows the command-line parameters passed to it), Only the filename gets substituted. For [artist], the string "[artist]" literally gets passed to the batch file...

What exactly is the syntax for the command-line parameters to an external program?

[FILENAME] is the only parameter, i'm aware of that can be passed on to an external program.

I'm not familiar with mp4 files, isn't MC's tagging good enough for this.

It would be, but unfortunately MC cannot tag mp4 files...:(
