[Flac] Re: Converting to 1.1.4, help please!

[Brian Willoughby]

Sorry I can't be of more help.  You are at a significant disadvantage  
by operating on a PC.  Of all the systems which can run flac, the PC  
is going to have the most crippled command line abilities.  You could  
look at installing a shell which would handle wildcards ... or you  
could look into some of those batch files that you've found.  I'm  
just pointing out that not everyone is in the same boat, so not  
everyone can tell you what commands will work for you.

I've read most everything on the FLAC site, but as I have mentioned
I don't know much about structuring a command line.  My PC is also
quite old (early P4 from 2000 w/256MB RAM) so I think it will take a LOT
of time for this to run through over 1200 CDs worth of FLAC files.
Hence my desire to get it right the first time.
I can only assume that this will take my PC more than
a day uninterrupted (that's also with 0 crashes - very optimistic).

I would not ask for command syntax help if I did not need it.
I most definitely do need help.

I read through the examples on a previous thread (converting to 1.1.3)
including an example from Josh himself,
but the instructions were not entirely clear to me.
I'm not an idiot, I just need a hand.
