Re: [Gnump3d-users] Using downsampling to recode .ogg to .mp3

[Chris Hendrickson]

oops, I sent this with address that is not in the mailing list (they end
up filtering to the same place) so I'm going to send this again just to
be sure since I have not seen it appear on the list.

If you get multiple copies, my apologies.

you could write a one or two line script and call THAT along the
lines of

#!/bin/bash
# downsample_ogg.sh
/usr/bin/oggdec --raw -b 16 -e 1 -o - $1 |  /usr/bin/lame -r -s 44.1
- - -m j -b 64 - -

the $1 variable is the first parameter passed to the command, $2 the
second, etc. $0 would then be the entire command

set the execute bit
chmod +x downsample_ogg.sh

and then set
downsample_medium_ogg = /usr/local/bin/downsample_ogg.sh $FILENAME

you could then also set it up to pass other options such as the bit
rate to encode to by turning them into parameters to the script as
such as below

#!/bin/bash
# downsample_ogg.sh
/usr/bin/oggdec --raw -b 16 -e 1 -o - $1 |  /usr/bin/lame -r -s 44.1
- - -m j -b $2 - -

and then

downsample_medium_ogg = /usr/local/bin/downsample_ogg.sh $FILENAME 64
downsample_high_ogg = /usr/local/bin/downsample_ogg.sh $FILENAME 128
etc

$1 would be $FILENAME, $2 would be the second parameter, the desired
bitrate, etc.
so you write one script and then pass it whatever parameters it needs.
