Goal is to Batch Rip audio CDs to a flash drive. Evidently VLC is only configured to rip one track at a time, unacceptably slow/cumbersome.
A forum thread on this topic exists, but it does not work.
The thread is titled
"Is there a way to batch rip an entire CD, not just track by track?"
Windows 10 will not open a .BAT file.
Besides that, I find the instructions nonexistent / highly confusing. A YouTube video showing steps would be more helpful.
