Hi,
I do all my scripting in perl, so you could try this:
<snip here>
use vars qw($dir @files @wavs);
$dir = $ARGV[0];
if (defined($dir)) { &wav2mp3; }
elsif (!defined($dir)) {
print "\nPlease enter the FULL path to the directory that CONTAINS the WAVS: ";
chomp($dir = <STDIN>);
&wav2mp3;
}
sub wav2mp3 {
opendir (DIR, "$dir") or die "Can't open $dir for input";
@files = readdir DIR;
closedir DIR;
foreach (@files) {
next if !/wav$/;
push @wavs, $_;
}
foreach (@wavs) {
my $mp3name = $_ . "\.mp3";
system("lame -b 256 -q 0 $_ $mp3name");
}
}
__END__
</snip here>
by the way, for my version of lame the -q switch is -V, (I think), so I
tried it with that.
HTH,
David Charles
