write something like that:
#!/bin/bash
IFS=$(echo -e "\n\r\t")
for wav_name in (ls *.wav) ; do
lame <options> "${wav_name}" "$(basename ${wav_name} .wav).mp3"
rm -f "${wav_name}" #add this line only if u want to erase your wav
file after encoding!
done
but r u sure about -q O? the version i run doesn't accept
them....(lame-3.22b-1)
bye
