Working on a script so I can select multiple folders containing flac files, and have them automatically encode the flac files to .mp3 V0 for my brother's ipod. I'm close to having things working, just missing this last bit. Where it says "lame -V 0" it wants two parameters: source file and destination file. Unfortunately, that is singular, and it doesn't seem to like the wildcard in destinations. Any ideas for alternatives? I'm not a programmer, but I've stumbled through some programs. Here's the code as it stands (untested bits commented out). #!/bin/bash IFS=" " for i in $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS do if [ -d "$i" ] then cd "$i" flac -d *.flac lame -V 0 *.wav *.mp3 # rm -f *.wav # cd .. fi done -- Jordan Peacock hewhocutsdown at gmail.com hewhocutsdown.blogspot.com
