Ok, so who wrote a *nix script to decompress all the samples automatically?

C'mon shouldn't be difficult...

Wrote this script yesterday. This does no unpacking, error checking and so on. Simple go to directory SampleXX and run the script. This assumes all binaries are in $PATH. I think it's a bit easier extensible for future listening tests than ErikSs script so maybe we could merge them.

CODE

#!/bin/sh

for i in *
do
   case $i in
       *.mp3)
           lame --decode $i `basename $i mp3`wav
          ;;
       *.mp4)
           faad -o ` basename $i mp4`wav $i
          ;;
       *.m4a)
           faad -o `basename $i m4a`wav $i
          ;;
       *.ogg)
           oggdec $i
          ;;
       *.wv)
           wvunpack $i `basename $i wv`wav
          ;;
   esac
done

Thanks, I'm pretty new to commandline stuff, so I had no idea how to do this. But that didn't stop me from modifying this line

CODE

for i in Sample??/*

Now, you just place it in the directory containing the sample folders and execute it.

edit: Maybe not a very good idea, because all the files are in the top folder now
