[flac] re-encode tool win32

[Frank Russo]

Someone try this on a test music directory and see if this works in cmd.exe..... 

cd c:\MusicDirectory
FOR /F "usebackq delims==" %i IN (`dir /B /S *.flac`) DO flac -t %i && flac -8V %i


I don't fully understand the syntax of FOR loops in dos..  The instructions seem a bit lacking.....  Windows is a strange beast indeed.

Under linux/bash, it would be something like....


cd /MusicDirectory
find . -type f -name "*.flac"  -exec sh -c 'flac -t {} && flac -8V {}' \;

Or to simplify and not test each file before re-encode....

find . -type f -name "*.flac"  -exec flac -8 {} \; -print

Can someone translate this into NTBatch?  Basically, recursive "dir" *.flac files as a nested command into a for loop or something?  I'd hate to suggest someone install cygwin just because I don't remember how to script in dos.  No need for a "GUI" when you can one-line it.
