BTW, if you have more Windows cmd issues, I highly recommend joining and asking at http://stackoverflow.com which is a better place for generic questions. Of course, at first you didn't know whether your issues were sox issues (and one of them was.) Just pointing out a great resource for that kind of question. They can also answer sox questions there.

%%~Ni returns the base filename (without directory or extension) for %%i, if %%i is the index in a FOR loop. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3432851/dos-bat-file-equivalent-to-unix-basename-command for more info. Look at the second answer down, which has a list for what "%~xi" does for different letters x. Apparently it's case-insensitive. Also, the for is different in a batch file than on the command line, "%%" versus "%", see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14509652/what-is-the-difference-between-and-in-a-cmd-file for the reason. (I'll just add that to the list of reasons I dislike Windows command line. But the main reason is I'm more used to sh/ksh/bash.)If the place of Sox is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Sox\sox.exe", you could
also start your command in your wav-folder:
FOR %F IN (*.wav) DO "C:\Program Files (x86)\Sox\sox.exe" "%F" -b 8
"%~NF.aiff"
or
FOR %F IN (*.wav) DO "C:\Program Files (x86)\Sox\sox.exe" "%F" -b 8
"processedfolder\%~NF.flac"
*.cmd means a batch file. I have attached such a file ("command.txt"):
- copy it inside your wav-folder
- if necessary do any changes
- inside a cmd-file you need double "%"
- rename it to "command.cmd" and make a double-click :-)
