Yep, that worked.

It's well beyond staying awake, I was guessing swap, but this computer has 512m of RAM so really I shouldn't have massive amounts of swapping going on. Sometimes it "freezes" up so bad I just reboot rather than wait for it to finish whatever it's doing. > Writing a shell script using find to run the conversion is pretty > simple.

Good luck! Yep, scripting is no biggie, been to that link a while back and used that script to "convert" my WMAs to mp3, or at least I thought it did. turns out they just got renamed. I tried running mplayer and got this: <snip> libavformat file format detected. [mp3 @ 0x87f4834]ID3v2.4 tag skipped, cannot handle unsynchronization [mp3 @ 0x87f4834]Could not find codec parameters (Audio: mp1, 64 kb/s) LAVF_header: av_find_stream_info() failed <snip> so it seems to not be processing the file.
