CD

I recently needed to convert a number of files in multiple directories from WAV format to MP3 format. I opted to do this with a script, seeing as most of the directories contained 99 files. Here is the bash script I came up with:

#!/bin/bash

SRCDIR=`pwd`
MP3DIR=$SRCDIR/mp3

for d in Disk*;
do
        WORKDIR=$MP3DIR/"$d"
        mkdir -p "$WORKDIR"
        cd "$d"
        for f in *.wav
        do
                b=`basename "$f" .wav`.mp3
                lame -V2 "$f" "$WORKDIR/$b"
        done 

        cd $SRCDIR
done
