create a directory of mp3 using lame

I have a directory full of .wav files that I want to convert
to mp3 using the command lame -h
I can't figure out how to do it. Ok, so I'm not all that bright,
but I know there must be a way. Does anyone know how to do this?
This is in Slackware 12 and, sometimes, in Slackware 10.

i suppose you could do something like

Code:

#lame /directory/to/music/*.wav /directory/to/mp3s/*.mp3

but thats off the top of my head, you may want them in the same folder in which case dw about the second argument

I'm not sure that will work for lame. I don't believe you can have multiple infiles/outfiles like that. (but I could be wrong)

A for loop will probably do it

Code:

for wavfile in *.wav

do

  lame "$wavfile" "${wavfile/.wav}.mp3"

done

open your favorite text editor such as gedit or kate and copy the following into it

Code:

#!/bin/bash

for wavfile in ./*.wav

do

  lame "$wavfile" "${wavfile/.wav}.mp3"

done

save the file as whatever you like in the directory where your music is saved

you then need to make the file executable by running

Code:

chmod +x filename

you may then double click the file and it will run
