An anglo-centric VBScript, using Microsoft's SAPI5 TTS engine and the
lame encoder (http://www.mp3-tech.org/software/encoders/lamewin32.exe),
can be found at

Just drag your music folder onto the script and it will recursively
process your whole folder hierarchy. The voice used to 'speak' the
folder names is the one you have selected via the 'Speech' applet in the
control panel.
