Confessions of a Guru » linux mp3 wma convert http://www.guru.net.nz/blog Random stuff from a Dunedin (NZ) based web developer, beer drinker and dad Wed, 14 Dec 2011 09:18:51 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Ubuntu: Convert wma to mp3 http://www.guru.net.nz/blog/2007/01/ubuntu-convert-wma-to-mp3.html http://www.guru.net.nz/blog/2007/01/ubuntu-convert-wma-to-mp3.html#comments Sun, 21 Jan 2007 12:20:00 +0000 GuruBob http://www.guru.net.nz/newblog/?p=139 This bash script should create a .mp3 file for all .wma files in the current directory. Note that you need mplayer and lame installed – a ‘sudo apt-get install lame mplayer’ should sort that out for you. Remember to chmod +x convert.sh your script to run it.

— convert.sh —

#!/bin/bash
for i in *.wma ; do mplayer -vo null -vc dummy -af resample=44100 -ao pcm:waveheader "$i" && lame -m s temp.wav -o "`basename "$i" .wma`.mp3" ; done
rm temp.wav

Note that the encoded MP3′s will have no ID tags on them. I’ll try to work that out when I’m more awake … Zzzzz …
