no problem man, that's what i'm here for. it was strange too, this was posted just a few hours after i was just done learning some of the sed command and the while command.

and yes, i was thinking you were going from mp3 to wav, my mistake, but you get the idea.

Speaking of going from *.mp3 to *.wav, I decided to play:

for i in `find -name "*.mp3"`; do mpg123 -w "${i/.mp3}.wav" $i; done

This is a good thread. We need to archive this one.

hey! that looks like a nice simple script! i found another script to do this but it didn't work  :(
i've been using xmms to do this job but will try that now you posted it. thanks!

LorKorub:
OK..now I have I question.

I have a shitload of *.mp3 files that are saved on CDROMs that I want to relocate to a single directory on my Linux drive. The files are sorted in their respective directories by band-names, and most of them have spaces (They are from my windoid days on Kazaa and Napster.) I cannot use the tr command, as they are on a read only filesystem, and I can't copy them to a temp directory, as bash gives me a bunch of error messages pertaining to the spaces in the files.  

Is there a workaround to this?
