windows - computer freezes after about 7,000 iterations of an .exe in a batch -
i searched command line applications report on mp3 tags , found three: mpgtx, id3 , id3tool. unfortunately 3 of them freeze computer after reporting 7,000 items. have 120k items. i've tried straight .exe, start , call part of experimentation. i've tried calling separate batch file in place of executable line. no luck.
here's simplified code fails:
/l %%g in (1, 1, 100000) ( id3.exe "filename.mp3" >nul )
mpgtx runs out of cpu. id3 , id3tool show plentiful cpu , memory (in process explorer) before freeze computer. thoughts on how use these tools, or on alternate tools without problem win/xp? thx
exiftool worked ... because has it's own recursive switch , doesn't called 100,000 times.
