Editing bulk songs queries - new user

[Blade11]

Hi All,
New member here. I am using Audacity to speed up my songs, and have some questions:

I am ddoing a bulk edit to speed up songs. When I export to audio, there is a pop up box to select things like bit rate/hz etc. However, my songs are all different. eg I have 320kbps mp3, FLAC 16 Bit/24 Bit, etc. So how can I have Audacity keep the same settings as per each song edited?

Also, I imported 400 songs. How can I export them all again in one go? And where they are FLAC, save as FLAC, and MP3 as MP3.

Do you know any computer languages? Audacity has Macros which is a list of instructions to tell other programs what to do. There is a Macro to automatically run the audiobook mastering suite.

But Macros can’t make decisions. There is no If This then Do That.

Maybe the Nyquist Programming Language. There was an instruction forum posting a while back. I’ll see if I can find it.

I am a coder actually. C# the main language.

But what is that in reference to? The audio export point I mentioned?

Found it.

I think you may need the programming to get Audacity to do this:

And where they are FLAC, save as FLAC, and MP3 as MP3.

I think speeding up a bunch of songs should be fairly easy, but Audacity is going to try to export them all as one format.

Analyze the incoming format and save it in a bucket. Do the speedup. Consult the bucket to figure out what the export shoud be.

Can’t Audacity just pick up the settings of the song it is exporting instead?
