Converting a directory of .wav files to .ogg

Code:

#!/bin/bash
# WAVtoOGG Converter
# Converts .wav files to .ogg files.
for i in *.wav ; do oggenc -o $i.ogg $i ; done
# Below converts the incorrect naming extension
# From .wav.ogg to just .ogg
badextension="*.wav.ogg";
match=".wav.ogg";
replacewith=".ogg";
for i in $( find -iname "$badextension" );
do
src=$i
tgt=$(echo $i | sed -e "s/$match/$replacewith/")
mv $src $tgt
done

You can do the 2nd part of your script with the rename command, it's sed-like

rename '{ s/wav.ogg$/ogg/ }'

the wav.ogg$ here $ means end of file pretty much assures you only get the unneeded .wav near the end of the filename, and not wav imbeded in other words like wave.... I forget if you need to escape the $ with a \ but I don't think you do......

the g is very helpful in other task :

rename '{ s/ //g }' * removes all the spaces in a filename, the g means to run it again and again like in sed.
