BASH/Audio gurus,

Why not use ffmpeg? You can convert directly from wma to mp3 in one step (in better than real time)...

Boyd, Rodney, Thanks for your help! I'm kicking myself for not thinking about backgrounding the process. After I went to be I was actually thinking about using a subshell in the script to try and make it work, but I like your solution. Rodney, yep, this old dog is learning a new trick. Sylvester provided the ffmpeg solution that works great. I need to read up a bit more on ffmpeg because the single ffmpeg conversion seem to chop the lead-in down just a bit that is noticeable when starting playback from amarok, but when played with noatun there isn't any noticeable difference?? -- David C.
