Some new .bat files

[leeclark2612]

These Batch files are designed to compliment a Standalone Jukebox and make your Jukebox update itself each time it loads.

The script depends on the music files all being in one MUSIC folder,
e.g, C:\Music\Journey\Don't Stop Believeing.mp3.

The Batch files will run in sequence to check for new files in the MUSIC folder, using the first file 'file counter' the contents of your MUSIC folder are populated and saved as a list as new.txt and prev.txt. Each time the file checker is ran, the prev.txt is deleted and the new.txt is renamed to prev.txt. an updated version of new.txt is also created.

Next, the 'checker.bat' will compare the text files to check if there are any changes in the music folder. start another file called 'update.bat'.

If there aren't any new files, then the file checker will load e-touch. If there ARE new files then another file called 'update.bat' which launches config4 to update the databases.

Hopefully these will come in handy to a few people...so here is each file.

Start file counter.bat....copy everything below this line until exit..

I plan to use a file from within e-touch to copy new folders from a usb drive to the MUSIC folder on my jukebox, then when jukebox is restarted, it will automatically be up to date...

del "C:\Program Files\E-Touch Jukebox\Genres"/Q /S >nul

I would suggest you change the line above to:

del "C:\Program Files\E-Touch Jukebox\Genres\*.cvr"/Q /S >nul

If you use the genre pics in the filter. Otherwise, it deletes everything in the \genres folder. The *.cvr just specifies the .cvr files only! This is so you dont have to keep re-adding the filter .jpg's everytime you start up.
