Investigate Audacity LOF files: [http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/lof\_files.html](http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/lof_files.html)  
Then, use an export script instead of a tool.

To open all selected files in one Audacity window:

```
$filename($getEnv(USERPROFILE)\Desktop\List of Files for Audacity.lof)
window
$loop(%_path%)file "%_path%"
$loopend()

```

To open one Audacity window with each selected file:

```
$filename($getEnv(USERPROFILE)\Desktop\List of Files for Audacity.lof)
$loop(%_path%)window
file "%_path%"
$loopend()

```

A downside:  
I believe that only ANSI file paths are acceptable.

FYI: a link to the middle of a thread discussing evaluation of audio files by sight.
