#!/bin/bash
# By Marko Haapala
# converts wma to mp3 recursively. does not delete any static files, so
# cleanup and renaming is needed afterwards.
#
# Modified by V10lator
# to delete the wma files and to use /tmp for temporary files
#
# requirements:
# lame    - http://lame.sourceforge.net/download.php
# mplayer - apt-get install mplayer or http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html
