Workaround to lower theme songs volume? Feature not very usable, volume is too high

[Ted Hinklater]

I used ffmpeg, first to find all the theme.mp3 files, lower their volumes to 10%, and save that as theme_reduced.mp3, after that, a script to delete all the original theme.mp3 files and rename theme_reduced.mp3 files to just theme.mp3

I did it that long way because I didn't want to just screw it up, you can probably modify the code to make it simpler
Step 1: Edit your shows folder path and change ffmpeg_path to wherever you saved ffmpeg to. Save this code as a .bat and run

Code:

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

set "source_dir=F:\Shows"
set "ffmpeg_path=C:\path\to\your\ffmpeg.exe"

for /r "%source_dir%" %%A in (Theme.mp3) do (
    set "output_file=%%~dpnA_reduced.mp3"
    "%ffmpeg_path%" -i "%%A" -filter:a "volume=0.1" -vn "!output_file!" -y
    echo File !output_file! created with reduced volume.
)

echo All Theme.mp3 files processed.

Step 2: Edit your Shows folder path, save as a .bat and run

Code:

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

set "source_dir=F:\Shows"

for /r "%source_dir%" %%A in (Theme.mp3) do (
    echo Deleting "%%A"
    del "%%A"
)

for /r "%source_dir%" %%B in (Theme_reduced.mp3) do (
    set "file_path=%%B"
    set "file_name=%%~nxB"
    set "new_name=!file_name:Theme_reduced=Theme!"
    set "new_path=!file_path:%source_dir%=!"
    echo Renaming "%%B" to "!new_name!"
    ren "%%B" "!new_name!"
)

echo Cleanup complete.
