I used a script like this (I just rewrote it from the top of my head, so this one is untested): EXT="mp4" DEST="/home/michael/music" for F in *.${EXT}; do N=${F/$EXT/wav} mplayer -vc dummy -vo null -ao pcm -aofile "${DEST}/${N}" "$F" normalize "${DEST}/${N}" lame --verbose -q 2 --abr 192 "${DEST}/${N}" "${DEST}/${F/$EXT/mp3}" done The catch with this over-engineered and occasionally inefficient script was that I would use it for both random audio formats and video files to extract the audio track (think presentation-to-podcast-like conversion). -- Michael Iatrou -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
