[olug] music transcoding

[Carl Lundstedt]

Adam,
I wrote a quick script to do this for me to allow me to put ogg on my
ipod, no gui...

!/usr/bin/perl
@titles = @ARGV;
$i=0;
foreach(@titles){

       print STDOUT "Found $titles[$i]  \n";
        @song_title = split(/\./, $titles[$i]);
        $cmd = "oggdec $titles[$i] -o - | lame - $song_title[0].mp3";
        print STDOUT "Issuing: $cmd \n";
        system $cmd;
        $i++;
}
print STDOUT "DONE.\n\n";


Hope this helps, best of luck.
