Thanks!
I like open lines as they are easier to read and modify.
The only thing wrong is that $filename needs / to cover each of the spaces
and symbols in the names. Pretty much every directory and song has both
spaces and symbols in their names. Ex:
/MyMusic/Creed/Human Clay/06 Faceless Man [US Version].wma
The code looks like this now:
Dir="/home/s/MyMusic"
CDir="`pwd`"
cd $Dir
i=1
find "$Dir" -name "*.wma" |xargs -0 while read song ; do
echo "$i $song"
#mplayer -ao pcm "$song"
i=$(($i+1))
if [ "`ls -l audiodump.wav|cut -d' ' -f6`" -gt "100" ] ;then
echo "Converting to ogg"
fi
#sleep 2
exit 0
done
cd "$CDir"
