I have some radio programs I listen to
and when I download the mp3's some are 70mb
and after running the script it gets reduced down to 6mb
so you can see quickly how fast you would fill up a mp3 player
for me the sound quality is fine and I can fit 10 times the amount of programs/songs
on the device
simple but effective DragNdrop
the original file is unchanged
a new file is made with a *.mono.mp3

Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
#dragNdrop
# conv-mp3-mp3mono
A="$@"
NO_EXT_FILE=`echo "${A//.mp3/}"`
echo $NO_EXT_FILE
TITLE=`basename "$@"`
xterm -geometry 40x30+150+40 -e lame -b 32 -m m $NO_EXT_FILE".mp3"
# rename mp3
mv $NO_EXT_FILE".mp3.mp3" $NO_EXT_FILE"_mono.mp3"
