Be careful when using sed to change extensions, what if you have an mp3 called something like "foo thump3.mp3", sed will turn it into "foo thuwav.mp3". I know it's not as cool as using sed to do it, but basename generally leads to more consistent results in this case. o="$(basename $i .mp3).wav" --Nick -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: pgpenvelope 2.10.2 - http://pgpenvelope.sourceforge.net/ iD8DBQE8V7NMv+hjYTGg7s4RAn8uAKCBGefIgeJOiLhgCmCBoSAdasOcKgCeJLV/ lTbpopqxK/YQvHvSvIfLe5A= =T9kG -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
