Just yesterday I encoded my entire CD into Ogg Vorbis format, with the Info 
Tag filled in automatically.

Here is my batch file... it's quite long and needs manual modifications for 
each CD, but this way you can configure it, then let it run overnight.

It may help to break it down like this first:

As you see, the broken-down version makes editing much easier... and if you 
know of some escape sequence where DOS will consider this as a single 
command (like the backslash symbol ('\') on Linux/Unix), please let me 
know. Until then, though, you'll have to put it all back together as a 
single line.
