[LAU] Batch-processing through JAMIN?

[Ken Restivo]

For a bunch of WAV files that have already been mixed, I was trying to avoid the clickydragging and wait time to import them all into Ardour and then make markers for them, then export the markers again.

I'm looking for something I can do this with:
	ls *wav | while read i; do jamin-batch "$i"; done

It's not my Mac and I can't go installing Ardour, JAMIN, and JACK on it. It's also an old PPC Mac and my Linux box has much more CPU than it, so I'd rather do it here.
