[NTLUG:Discuss] Transcoding MP3s

[Alvin Goats]

This was close:

lame -b 128 -cbr "${FILE}.mp3" "/user/${FILE}.mp3"

but had an error going to /user. This fixed it!

lame -b 128 -cbr "${FILE}.mp3" /user/"${FILE}.mp3"

Now, it changes everything and keeps the spaces and other characters as 
well.

Thanks!

Alvin
