Hi. i am running debian 6.0.6 and i am banging my head to create a simple script that will run periodically (through cron).
i do have a whole lot of wav files in opt/wavfiles and i do need:
-convert them to mp3
-delete the wav files that have been converted to mp3
-compress the files and move the compressed file to /opt/mp3backups
is there a simple script ready for the job?

a good starting point is
