To get you started:
for file in /opt/*.wav; do
oggenc -q 4 $file && rm $file
done
# forget about compressing the files because they're already compressed
mv *.ogg /opt/mp3backups
Note that I use oggenc here, because I'm not familiar with the command
to convert to mp3, although I imagine ffmpeg would do it. If you find
you need to specify an output file name, you could do it like this:
$(basename $file wav)ogg
That would remove the 'wav' extension from $file and replace it with an
'ogg' extension.
You might want to specify a working directory for the script to run in.
Maybe start it off with:
cd /tmp
Others here might have an opinion on that.
