Put the .ram files that you want to convert into a folder. Make a text file with this script and call it somethng like convert.sh Then make it executable. Run this script in the same folder as the media files.
#!/bin/bash
#
# convert ram files into mp3s
for i in *.ram
do
#convert the ram file to a wav
mplayer -ao pcm:file="$i.wav" `cat "$i"`
#convert that wav file to an mp3
lame -h -b 192 "$i.wav" "$i.mp3"
#remove the wav file, it's useless now
rm "$i.wav"
#fix up the filename by removing extrenous extensions
x=`echo "$i.mp3"|sed -e 's/ram.mp3/mp3/'`
mv "$i.mp3" "$x"
done
I've used this with .ra, .ram before. I think that this will work for .wma too.
#!/bin/bash
#
# convert wma files into mp3s
for i in *.wma
do
#convert the wma file to a wav
mplayer -ao pcm:file="$i.wav" `cat "$i"`
#convert that wav file to an mp3
lame -h -b 192 "$i.wav" "$i.mp3"
#remove the wav file, it's useless now
rm "$i.wav"
#fix up the filename by removing extrenous extensions
x=`echo "$i.mp3"|sed -e 's/wma.mp3/mp3/'`
mv "$i.mp3" "$x"
done
