Can someone help with a simple bash script?

[Yes]

I have some .ogg music files that I need converted to .mp3. I've used the command

for file in *.ogg;do oggdec -o - "$file"|lame -h -V 4 –-vbr-new - "$(basename "$file" .ogg).mp3";done

before to convert every file in a folder, but I'd like to be able to just run the script and have it convert every .ogg in my Music folder. My Music folder is set up like Music>Artist>Album>Song.ogg. Can anyone help me out?

Thank you

I don't remember the exact syntax, but google for ...

find dir -name *.ogg -exec ...

You could try something like

find /path/to/music -name "*.ogg" | while read file

'file' would remain your variable. I think this should work.

Not sure I understand corretly, but are you saying that you have multiple directories separated for each artists or such and you want to covert all of them at one shot ?

Between pushd and popd, you are already in the OGG directory. Replace 'echo $x $y $z' with whatever command(s) you want to run.

#!/bin/csh
 
foreach file (`find <top music dir> -name "*ogg" -print`)
   set dir=$file:h
   pushd $dir
     echo "changing dir to $dir.."
     set x = $file:t
     set y = $file:r:t
     set z = $y."mp3"
     echo "$x  $y $z"
   popd
end

Thank you all, but I found the program ogg2mp3 which has worked wonderfully.

Thanks
