As Fredrik said - not really possible, at least not with standard python. For Linux, you might be lucky using the python LUFS module: http://www.freenet.org.nz/python/lufs-python/ But you being a beginner, I guess that is a bit over your head. Trying to change the behaviour of the batch skript, writing out the information you need is the more reasonable approach. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
