The background behind me doing this is simple. I'm trying to create an audio archive of audio files which are like an hour long of someone speaking. It is for streaming on the internet (please lets not discuss the bandwidth and all other irrelevant topics) and I've been told that wma helps in achieving my goals. I found this script on the list that does wav to mp3 it appears: --------------------------[script]------------------------------- #!/bin/sh # extraido de http://bulmalug.net/impresion.phtml?nIdNoticia=1744 # y modificado por mapelo manu_perez_lopez at hotmail.com # necesita mplayer y lame # Convertimos wma a mp3 for f in *.wma do mplayer "$f" -ao pcm mv audiodump.wav "$f.wav" #lame $f.wav # modificado por mapelo para hacer variable vibrate y de mayor calidad lame --vbr-new -V 3 -b 128 "$f.wav" rm "$f.wav" done --------------------------[script]------------------------------- Any help will be appreciated. :) -- gabriel, Member of: FreeBSD-Announce FreeBSD-Hardware FreeBSD-Multimedia FreeBSD-questions
