Thank you. I changed it as suggested so that now it runs C:
\Python32\python.exe extract_songs.py but it still isn't working. A
DOS prompt flashes real quick as it runs, but when I check the output
file that is supposed to be written to, nothing new has been added.
I'm not sure what the problem is now. I know the script itself works
because I just ran it manually and the output was fine.
