I started writing a script about 4 months ago, but I put it aside when I realised how much other work I had to do. The other day I found a script that Steel_J on <A href="http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=2637196">http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=2637196</A> wrote which did the uses faad and lame to bulk convert a bunch of m4a files into mp3 files and nicely brings across the ID3 tags from the m4a file into the mp3 file. However, I found that the program had a few small bugs and wouldn't recursively walk my directory structure to encode all of my files without me needing to do anything so I modified and I've reposted it here. This script worked fine on my music but individual mileage may vary.</P></DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/366705DE-6E5D-4CF0-BB3F-90CFF03F0FBF/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
