Help with either bash or find...

[Daniel Challen]

Assuming your input files are in various directories:

for musepack_file in $(find -name \*.mpc -type f) ; do
	mppdec "$musepack_file" "$(echo $musepack_file | sed s/mpc$/wav/)"
done

otherwise, if they're all in one place:

for musepack_file in *.mpc ; do
	mppdec "$musepack_file" "$(basename $musepack_file .mpc).wav"
done

should do the right thing

or, using xargs *might* work:

find -print0 -name \*.mpc -type f | xargs -0 -I song mppdec song song.wav

but I think you will end up with songname.mpc.wav as the ouput

otherwise it appears mppdec has a limited batch mode:

mppdec --wav $(find -name \*.mpc -type f) name_of_output_directory/

hope that helps
