Convert wma to mp3
March 25th, 2008
This is a little script I use to convert wma to mp3 in Linux. Thought I would share it with the world.
for i in *.wma ; do mplayer -vo null -vc dummy -af resample=44100 -ao pcm:waveheader "$i" && lame -m j -h --vbr-new -b 160 audiodump.wav -o "`basename "$i" .wma`.mp3"; done; rm -f audiodump.wav

I knew that bit of code looked familiar! Thankfully I haven’t had to convert any wma files in a long time. It’s funny how you forget all these little things when you’re not dealing with Windows users any more. :)

lol. I couldn’t remember where I found it. I hope I haven’t infringed on any copyrights?
