Annotations:

In this example I’m going to demonstrate this with the scenario of moving newly downloaded podcasts to an mp3-player.

If you do this for multiple folders, this batch file will save you a lot of time compared to manually copying.

In my folder ‘Podcast downloads’ I have all 8 episodes of a podcast I’m following.

On my mp3-player however, I only have the 5 first episodes.

First, create a .txt in your source folder:
Right-click in the folder → New → Text Document

Name your text document and open it.

Type /”Xcopy/
