a warning to all who write such scripts (including me). they will very,
very often break with mp3 files that are named from CD rips because of
embedded spaces. for example, in the little script i just posted, i
should have used "$@" not "$*" for precisely this reason.
long time *nix users will know that spaces have always been legal in
file names; new *nix users won't know that the oldtimers have never
really used them :)

hi,
just starting to use ardour2 for production (thanks everyone for the
help) and running into a little frustration with the mp3 files from my
recorder. ardour of course doesn't import from mp3; I can, I suppose,
convert the files to mp3 one at a time when I want to, but I wonder if
there's a more fluid way of e.g. converting files when they're uploaded,
or at least converting all files in a particular folder or something.
are there other people out there who have to deal with a similar
situation?
No big deal. Here's the bash one-liner I use:
for i in `ls /path/to/your/mp3s`; do F=`basename $i`; mpg123 -r 48000 -w $F $i; done
Obviously, change the /path/to/your/mp3s to wherever they are, and change 48000 to
whatever rate you have ardour and jack set to.
