Hi all. The subject pretty much nails it...I've been trying to find a way to truncate the ugly extensions that Lame leaves behind when batch-transcoding i.e., foo.mp3.wav. Currently, I've 
managed to come up with the following:
for file in *.mp3
do
lame --decode $file ${file/mp3/wav}
done

When I run the above, I get an error from Lame-3.96.1 about an excessive number of arguments. When I run it in a script with #!/bin/bash -x, I found that the filenames aren't being escaped as 
they should. Anyone know how I would correct it so that it works on files with whitespace? Thanks!

How many chunks could checkchunk check if checkchunck could check chunks?
