Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Help with 'batch conversion using lame' shell script Post 302411133 by Kingzy on Wednesday 7th of April 2010 05:54:04 PM

So i entered this in the command line:

Code:
lame --mp3input hello hello1

and it worked. The output file was fine when i put back the mp3 extension. Thanks a lot.

But, in my script, i already specified in the for loop to only consider '.mp3' files. It will still ignore 'non-mp3' files. How do i make it detect any audio file of mp3 format in ~/Documents?

As for adding 'set -x', my script closes itself when all conversion is done. How do i stop that?

Code:
#!/bin/bash

set -x

cd ~/Documents

for file in *.mp3; 
do lame --mp3input "$file"; 

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