non compos mentis

Aside from any argument over which audio file format is best (I like FOSS, thus ogg), I reworked my oggify script, attempting to implement what I learned from comments at linux


#!/bin/bash

# convert mp3 and wav to ogg
# tonytraductor / http://www.BaldwinSoftware.com



echo -e "Oggify, at your service.\nOggify will convert all mp3 and wav files in this directory to ogg files, and REMOVE the old mp3 and wav files.\nFirst, it will make all file extensions lower case, and remove spaces from the file names.\n\nDo you wish to continue? (type y to continue)"

read ans

if [ $ans == y ]; then


echo "Removing spaces in names, and removing capitals from file extensions..."

##
# Note: Ubuntu users (possibly any deb based distro?) will have to alter the rename command to
# rename 's/\ /_/' *.(file extension)

# make extensions all lower case

for i in *.MP3
do
rename MP3 mp3 *.MP3
done


for i in .WAV
do
rename WAV wav *.WAV
done


# remove spaces in names

for i in .mp3
do
rename \ _ *.mp3
done

for i in *.wav
do
rename \ _ *.wav
done


echo "Converting mp3 files to wav..."

# converting all mp3 files to wav,
# so there will be nothing but wavs
# DELETING the mp3 files as soon as the wav is completed


for i in *.mp3
do

n=$i

echo "Converting $n to wav..."

mpg123 -w "$n.wav" "$n"

echo "Stripping mp3 extension from wav file name..."

rename .mp3. . $n.wav

echo "Removing mp3 file..."

rm $n

done


# and, now, converting those wav files to ogg
# DELETING wav files after oggs are created

echo "Converting wav files to ogg..."

for i in *.wav
do
n=$i
oggenc $n

echo "Ogg created, removing wav file..."

rm $n

done

# more clean up



echo -e "Your oggs are all fresh and toasty and ready to enjoy, friend.\nHappy Listening!"

exit

else

echo -e "Oh..okay...Ogg files are an excellent audio file format, though.\nYou can learn more about them at www.vorbis.com\nB'bye now..."
