Code:
--mp3input
        Assume the input file is a MP3 file. Useful for downsampling from one mp3 to
        another. As an example, it can be useful for streaming through an IceCast server.
        If the filename ends in ".mp3" LAME will assume it is an MP3 file. For stdin or
        MP3 files which do not end in .mp3 you need to use this switch.

That option may help you out. If you want further help with your script, add "set -x" as the first command and then post the trace output that's generated.

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
