[NTLUG:Discuss] Trivial MP3 conversion script

[Daniel Hauck]

I did this:

for i in *.[Ww][Mm][Aa]; do lame $i ; done


The intent and purpose is to convert all WMA files in a folder over to
MP3.  It works, but it leaves "wma" in the resulting filename.

For example, there is a file called "song.wma" and I run lame against
it, the resulting output file is "song.wma.mp3"

How can I take the extension off of the file list and then process like
this?

... do lame $i.[Ww][Mm][Aa] $i.mp3; done

What magic code strips off the ".wma"?
