Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Help with 'batch conversion using lame' shell script Post 302410780 by Kingzy on Tuesday 6th of April 2010 10:21:55 PM

I tried your solution and it only saved my 2 test files (Hello1.wav and Hello2.wav) in ~/Documents as *.wav.mp3 files, still in ~/Documents.

I tried putting the idea from your code into my previous code and it worked.

Here is the new code:

Code:
#!/bin/bash

cd ~/Documents

for file in *.wav; 
do lame "$file"; 

for i in *.wav.mp3 ; do
mv "$i" ~/Documents/'newmp3s'
cd ~/Documents/'newmp3s'
rename 's/.wav//' *.mp3
cd ..
done
done

Thanks for that.

But now if i want to convert mp3s into mp3s (i do that to decrease file size), using exactly the same code, the 'rename' command will remove the 'mp3' extension in all but the last new converted file in ~/Documents/newmp3s. Any workaround for that?

Code:
#!/bin/bash

cd ~/Documents

for file in *.mp3; 
do lame "$file"; 

for i in *.mp3.mp3 ; do
mv "$i" ~/Documents/newmp3s
cd ~/Documents/newmp3s
rename 's/.mp3//' *.mp3
cd ..
done
done
