hi,
just starting to use ardour2 for production (thanks everyone for the
help) and running into a little frustration with the mp3 files from my
recorder. ardour of course doesn't import from mp3; I can, I suppose,
convert the files to mp3 one at a time when I want to, but I wonder if
there's a more fluid way of e.g. converting files when they're uploaded,
or at least converting all files in a particular folder or something.
are there other people out there who have to deal with a similar
situation?
thanks,
matt
hmmm... bash script for loop aught to do it. something like
#!/bin/bash
for i in `ls *.mp3`; do
$CONVERTER_PROGRAM $i ${i/mp3/wav}
done
where $CONVERTER_PROGRAM is something that takes two arguments, an mp3
file and a wave file name. this could be done with mplayer like this i
think.
mplayer -ao pcm:${i/mp3/wav} $i
here is more info on bash scripting.
