Did you leave the batch script running for a while? You should see some output about the conversion process in the terminal window and at least the following command:

C:\path_to_your_folder>for /F "delims=" %i IN ('dir /b') do call hldjaconv 1 11025 0 "%i" "
%~ni.wav"

And of course, make sure you're running the .bat file (not the .exe)

i run the bat file and the console comes up and dissapears doing nothing. i dont have time to type anything.

I just updated the batch file so that it pauses before closing, so you should be able to see what the results are. Try it and let me know what the output is.

I kept getting output that looked like this:

D:\HLDJ Music\to_convert>call hldjaconv 1 11025 0 "Theme - Homer Simpson.mp3" "T
heme - Homer Simpson.wav"
decoding error 0x0101 (lost synchronization) at byte offset 0
decoding error 0x0235 (bad main_data_begin pointer) at byte offset 4180

D:\HLDJ Music\to_convert>call hldjaconv 1 11025 0 "Theme - Star Wars.mp3" "Theme

decoding error 0x0101 (lost synchronization) at byte offset 0

D:\HLDJ Music\to_convert>call hldjaconv 1 11025 0 "Timbaland - The Way I Are.mp3
" "Timbaland - The Way I Are.wav"
decoding error 0x0101 (lost synchronization) at byte offset 0
decoding error 0x0102 (reserved header layer value) at byte offset 36
Press any key to continue . . .

D:\HLDJ Music\to_convert>


however in the end the .wav files it produced worked so I'm not sure what that error was all about. Thanks, it made it a lot easier to convert like 50 mp3s at once

That's normal - decoding errors will occur if the file carries ID3 tags or other non-standard data.
How long did it take to transcode a single file? how's the quality of the produced audio files?
Currently I'm looking at reducing conversion time and tweaking the clipping algorithm for very loud audio.
