For what it's worth,
$ echo lamp3.mp3 | sed -e "s/mp3/wav/g"
lawav.wav
which is probably not what's required.

$ file="bright lamp3.mp3"
$ wavfile="$(basename "$file" .mp3).wav"
$ echo $wavfile
bright lamp3.wav

Still doesn't help if someone calls a file "Windows User.MP3". If that's
a problem, then you probably do want to revert to sed:
$ echo lamp3.MP3 | sed -e "s/[Mm][Pp]3$/wav/g"
lamp3.wav
------end snip---------

Another solution would be:
  wavfile=`echo $file | sed -e "s/.mp3/.wav/g"

This works for the lamp3.mp3 example. It wouldn't work as well for lamp.mp3file.mp3

true, but the basename command would work for all I can think of since
it only applies to the specified extension.

I would like to add the following: the line

lame $file $wavfile

should be replaced with

lame "$file" "$wavfile"

so that the script works fine when there are file names like

01\ -\ Supertramp\ -\ School.mp3

True.

First thing I do with  /mp3s/videos/... is to convert upper letters to
lower one and replace blanks in filenames with '_'.

Nautilus script folder can help a lot here.

I am sorry that my version was somehow inclomplete, but imo it's
desirable _you get the script doing what is meant to accomplish, besides
to use shell interpreter.

James,Robert and you _refined_ some parts which is important and should
teach a little about Bash.

Thanks
