Well guys, I have been up all night and you'd think I'd've been trying to
recover my crucial data on my crashed harddrive on my main linux audio box.
BUT NOOOO. I've been obsessing over ripping mp3s on my secondary box. So I
spent some time failing at compiling jack cuz I hate grip on my machines cuz
it's so slow and unreliable at least on my machines, and then said screw
this and learned some bash and made my first usuable script tee hee. i'm so
proud of my newbie self that I thought I'd share it. don't blame me if it
blows you up. it shouldn't, it's a pretty simple inane cdparanoia/lame
using script. fun. did I do anything horribly stupid?
here:
---
#!/bin/bash
# Aaron Trumm's cdparanoia/lame mp3 ripping script
# It simply takes all the tracks on a cd, rips, converts to mp3, and names
them a standard file name
# It asks you for the artist and album.
# Very simple but useful for me.
ARTIST=
ALBUM=
REMOVE=
X=
echo "Artist: "; read ARTIST
echo "Album: "; read ALBUM
echo "Delete wav files afterwards y/n? "; read REMOVE
cdparanoia -B
for X in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
do
if [ -e track0"$X".cdda.wav ]
then
lame track0"$X".cdda.wav
"$ARTIST"_"$ALBUM"_"$X".mp3
fi
done
for X in 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41
do
if [ -e track"$X".cdda.wav ]
then
lame track"$X".cdda.wav
"$ARTIST"_"$ALBUM"_"$X".mp3
fi
done
for X in 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63
64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79
do
if [ -e track"$X".cdda.wav ]
then
lame track"$X".cdda.wav
"$ARTIST"_"$ALBUM"_"$X".mp3
fi
done
for X in 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99
do
if [ -e track"$X".cdda.wav ]
then
lame track"$X".cdda.wav
"$ARTIST"_"$ALBUM"_"$X".mp3
fi
done
if [ "$REMOVE" == "Y" ] || [ "$REMOVE" == "y" ]
then
rm -rf *.wav
fi

Nothing I see, but you will love the utility "seq" which will shorten
your script immensely:
$ seq -w 100
001
002
003
004
005
006
007
008
009

someone else mentioned seq too and I've been trying to use it but can't get
the syntax right - what you've just posted is new to me
is there a bash reference somewhere? obviously there is - the tutorial I
was reading didn't mention seq though
I tried
for X in seq '1 9'
and
for X in seq 1 9
but neither of those works

for x in `seq 1 9`; do
echo $x
done
you want to loop over the output of "seq 1 9". the backticks "`" give
you that.

Hi;
seq is just a handy command, not a part of bash. (man seq
for useful options) If you want to access the output of a useful
command in one of your scripts, you could do it like this:
for X in $(seq 1 99) ; do
or
for X in `seq 1 99` ; do
Unix has many many little commands designed to make your life
easier, particularly for scripts.

I don't believe seq has a man page. At least I don't have it here.
On the other hand, it's so simple, it doesn't need one. The built-in
help (seq --help) gives you all you need to know, apart from the
fact that you need to enclose it in back-ticks, as you pointed out
(or "$(" and ")").

There is however a longer info documentation: "info seq" with several
examples.

I should have looked at my other laptop before I said that. I'm running
Slackware 8.1 here, and it doesn't have a man page for seq, but it does
have the info page. I hadn't checked that before because I don't the
info user interface.
My other laptop runs Slackware 9.1, and it has a man page for seq. Also,
"info seq" brings up the man page with the info UI instead of the info
page I got on Slackware 8.1. Every system is different, I guess.
