Hi all
I want to do something that I am sure is very simple but I am frustrated because I am not sure where to start.
Basically all I want to do is to feed all the files from a directory one by one into an application - i.e. using lame to encode wav files to mp3.
Can this be done from a bash script or should I use perl or ???
Any advice or info much appreciated.

You should be able to do this from bash but I have a feeling you can do it with lame itself. Have you man lame ?
Spooky. I was thinking about doing something similar today. From what I can see on the man page lame doesn't do batch processing, so a 'for all' loop would be the best bet IMO.
