Re: lame and linux!

Heres the perl equivalent:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

#
# script to process all mp3 files under a given directory or directories
#

use File::Find;
no warnings 'File::Find';

#the @array holds the dirs you want to search, you can specify  
multiple dirs here or just one,
#uncomment appropriate one
#@directories_to_search = ("/path/to/your/directory/", "/path/to/your/ 
directory2/");
@directories_to_search = "/path/to/your/directory/";

find(\&processFiles, @directories_to_search);

#this function is called on every file and dir that is found under the
sub processFiles() {

     #check if its a .mp3 file
     if ($_ =~ /(mp3)$/) {
     	#the filename found is stored in $_ so we can use that directly
     	$command = "lame -b 64 -f -m s $_ stream_$_";
     	$result = `$command`;
     }
}
