[GLLUG] remix?

[Benjamin Cathey]

Well - What I ended up with was just a command (not a script so much)

find -name "*.mp3" -exec lame -m m -q 2 -b 128 {} done/{} \;

The only problem is that it is losing the ID3 tags

"ID3v2 found. Be aware that the ID3 tag is currently lost when transcoding."

Oh well - that is not so important.
