Give it a try and see

It's a well known CD ripper in a small package, and can convert mp3 > wav, wav > mp3

I've used it for 15 yrs. It has a lot of settings. I always have used Lame for encoding.

Hi

Always plenty of ways to skin a cat.

This is part of my commandline script for managing CD burning, striping etc.

## recode to .wav for cd burning and change name from mp3 to wav

   for i in *.mp3; do lame --decode $i `basename $i .mp3`.wav; done

Obviously requires lame and basename requires Perl I think.

To do the opposite I use:-

for i in /tmp/track_*.wav
       {
       lame -h $i $i.mp3
       }


      cd /tmp
      rename .wav.mp3 .mp3 *.wav.mp3

      for i in *.inf *.wav
       {
       rm $i
       }
      cd /


I think rename was deprecated on some systems, seem to remember I had to add it to mine when I changed distros some while back

regards
