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
If you want the script, I'll send it to you. 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.
At any rate, Lame produces mp3 files. I use it for
that although I've never listened to one. :)

Hey y'all,
I have a script that I run when I close down my
studio
that copies all of my random recordings over to the
'Dailies' area on my web site. But all of these
snippets
are .wav files (mostly from Timemachine & Audacity).
I'd like to have the script batch convert all the
.wav's
to .mp3's before the copy. That way, my musical
partners
don't have to download a 40MB .wav file to see if
they
want to work with a snippet. So what I really need
is
a high quality command line driven wav->mp3
converter
that I can set up something like:
convertorthang -o=mp3 *.wav
and have it just do it... Oh, and not try to do it
again if the file already exists.
Okay, I'll go Google around, but if anybody's got a
good
pointer for me, lemme know, eh? ;-)
toodles!
~Jos~
