Hello.
I'm looking for some help in finding an easy-to-use method of converting mp3s to wavs.
The idea is to distribute demo files for the game Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory with mp3 encoded shoutcasts (live commentary) that was recorded during the game. The shoutcasts need to be encoded for smaller download size, but the encoding format does not necessarily have to be mp3.
Once the demos and shoutcasts are downloaded, the shoutcasts need to be converted to uncompressed wav files since that is the only audio format the game supports. The process of conversion must be kept simple (for the downloaders), preferably a one click operation.
For example by running an included .bat file containing something like "mp3towav.exe -input <file.mp3> -output <file.wav>"
What I'm looking for is an application that will allow me to write a simple script that, once run, will convert a specific mp3 file to an uncompressed wav file. I also need to include this application in the demo+shoutcast distribution so that the people downloading the package doesn't have to do anything but double click a file.
If you know of such an application, or of someone who is willing to allow the use of their application for this specific purpose, I'd much appreciate any info on the subject.
Sinc.
