how about shrinking/optimising this ::resolved:: -

by the time this part of the program is complete, at least another 20-30 if statements are gonna be used.

is there anyother way of doing this?

Code:
Private Sub Command1_Click()

    Dim BatchInfo As String

    'Makes sure no "batch.bat" file exists before starting
    On Error Resume Next
    Kill "batch.bat"

    'Adds string values to BatchInfo
    BatchInfo = "@echo off" & vbCrLf
    BatchInfo = BatchInfo & Left(App.Path, 2) & vbCrLf
    BatchInfo = BatchInfo & "cd\" & vbCrLf
    
    'Adds "\plugins" at the end of App.Path
    'App.Path shows the current location of the application
    MyPath = App.Path & "\plugins"
    
    'Removes the first three characters from "MyPath"
    MyPath = Right(MyPath, Len(MyPath) - 3)
    
    'Adds "cd " infront of the string "MyPath" and add that to "BatchInfo"
    BatchInfo = BatchInfo & "cd " & MyPath & vbCrLf
    
    'Adds info in "ListView1" to "BatchInfo"
    For i = 1 To ListView1.ListItems.Count

        If Right(InputPath, 3) = "mp3" Then
            'Replaces the end of the InputPath with ".wav"
            OutputPath = Replace(InputPath, ".mp3", ".wav")
            'Adds the encoding string to "BatchInfo"
            BatchInfo = BatchInfo & "lame --decode " & Chr(34) & InputPath & Chr(34) & " " & Chr(34) & OutputPath & Chr(34) & vbCrLf
        ElseIf Right(InputPath, 3) = "mpc" Then

        End If
        
    Next i
    
    'Opens "batch.bat" and adds all the values in "BatchInfo" to "batch.bat"
