Have you considered FLAC? Conversion to mp3 is lossy and if you delete the wav's there will be no way to get the original quality and if you ever find out you need a different format (like ogg or aac) the conversion will loose you even more quality. > -compress the files and move the compressed file to /opt/mp3backups > is there a simple script ready for the job? If you hope to save space, don't bother, the gains on mp3 will be minimal. If you just want them bundled tar has already been suggested.
