Tomas, lame requires another library (faad2) and both are installed. There apparently is an expected format that is not what the recorder provides. The script I tried is: #!/bin/sh # name of this script: wav2mp3.sh # wav to mp3 for i in *.wav; do if [ -e "$i" ]; then file=`basename "$i" .wav` lame -h -b 192 "$i" "$file.mp3" fi done When I run the script with the .wav file's name I get this output: Unsupported data format: 0x0011 Knowing nothing about audio formats I looked on the Web and found sox. Apparently did not use it properly. Audacity does the trick and ffmpeg is installed although I've not used it before.
Should both work from command line given input.wav output.mp3 with optional compression options.
Not knowing what compression options would be appropriate there were none on the script's command line and that might well be why it failed.
ffmpeg in particular is the real "Swiss army knife" type of a tool.
I'll read the man page. Thanks, Rich _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
