hi all,
i wrote a little shell script which wraps around lame in order to
encode multiple files in one batch.
suggestions, bug reports and additional features are very welcome!
#!/bin/sh
#
# auenc -- version 0.1
#
# A wrapper for lame to encode multiple files. By default, a .wav
# extension is removed and replaced by .mp3 .

# set the variables below according to your taste
LAME=/usr/bin/lame
LAME_OPTS="-S -h -v -V 0 -b 256" # high quality, silent operation
if [ $# -lt 1 ] ; then
exec 1>&2
cat << _EOF_
usage: $0 [options] file...
options:
-d --delete: delete original file after successful encoding
_EOF_
exit 1
fi
unset DELETE
case "$1" in ( -d | --delete )
DELETE=1
shift ;;
esac
for f in $* ; do
if ! $LAME $LAME_OPTS "$f" `basename "$f" .wav`.mp3 ; then
exec 1>&2
echo "encoding of $f failed, aborting..."
exit 1
fi
if [ -n "$DELETE" ] ; then
rm -f "$f"
fi
done
have fun,
