Hi Jos,
I use lame. From my script:
elif [ "$extension" = wav ]; then
echo "Converting $i to ${i%.*}.mp3 be
patient!"
lame -h $i ${i%.*}.mp3
else
Okay, cool! Lame is gonna do the trick. I did a few
trial conversions using a command line similar to what
you used and I'm getting a really good compression rate
and totally acceptable quality. Bravo!
If you want the script, I'll send it to you.
Please! :-)
It's not
that great because it's partially a learning
experiment and builds an array from the contents of a
directory--not necesarry but you can strip the array
code out. It also assumes the directory structure
~/clients/clientname/wav, ~/clients/clientname/mp3,
etc.
I hate scripting. I'll be happy to start with whatever
you can send me. I'd much rather hack a script that I
can kinda understand already than try to do it from
scratch.
At any rate, Lame produces mp3 files. I use it for
that although I've never listened to one. :)
I listened to the files I made. Yup, it works jes fine!
Thank you!
