I am completely new to bat files. I have a folder with several thousand audio files. I would like to "export" the name and length of each and save them in a single text file. It seems simple, but I've struggled for hours just trying to get started. Can someone please help?! Thank you!!!!

By 'length', do you mean file size in bytes, or audio duration? – jarmod Nov 06 '15 at 16:34

By length I mean audio duration. In my folder view, that's how the duration is labeled.... 'Length' – Olive Nov 06 '15 at 16:35

4There's no native batch command that can read audio file metadata. You'll need a third-party program that has a command line interface, like MediaInfo. – SomethingDark Nov 06 '15 at 16:35

I see. Thank you for your answers. – Olive Nov 06 '15 at 16:40

Here's a PowerShell script that you can use to print MP3 filenames and audio duration. Redirect the output to a file as needed.
$path = 'C:\Users\Public\Music\Sample Music\'
Get-ChildItem $path -Filter *.mp3 -name | Foreach-Object {
$shell = New-Object -COMObject Shell.Application
$shellfolder = $shell.Namespace($path)
$shellfile = $shellfolder.ParseName($_)
write-host $_ $shellfolder.GetDetailsOf($shellfile, 27);
}
And here's info on how to run PowerShell scripts.
