Windows Batch File Conversion with Retained Audio Metadata using FFmpeg Error

Question

I'm fairly new to using this program, and really programming of any kind, but after tooling around on the internet (a lot of this site actually), I managed to come up with this.

@ECHO OFF

FOR %%AA IN (*.flac) DO (
echo Converting: %%AA
ffmpeg -i "%%AA" -q:a 0 -map_metadata 0 "%%~nf.mp3"
)

echo Finished

PAUSE

The problem I'm running into is that when I run the program I get the error "At least one output file must be specified". When I remove the -map_metadata 0 command, the program works fine, but no metadata is saved in the mp3 file. Does anyone know what's going wrong with this program, or what I can chnage to fix it?

EDIT: Now correctly displays my code.

Answer 1

I think you need to replace the %%AA with %%f:

Code:

@echo off
FOR %%f IN (*.flac) DO (
echo Converting: %%f
ffmpeg -i "%%f" -q:a 0 -map_metadata 0 "%%~nf.mp3"
)
