Re: using stdin stdout with lame

Thank you all for your help, I used the method proposed by Warren Toomey

I had missed the -O from the tar extraction, but it all works now

Again thanks for your help and advice

this has saved me 1/3 hard disk space as before I had a tar.bz file and 
an mp3 store for playback now I can create an MP3 on the fly and only 
when the file is requested
Regards

Robb
