a little helper for pydance...

dont know how many of you have used pydance but if you have and you like it there are various sources for extra file to use, unfortunately most of them use mp3's that are not yet fully compatible with pygame or if they work then you get random crashes... the answer off course is to trancode them to ogg... easy enough, then fix the link in the text files to the ogg file .
However if you have a arge archive to convert this get rather tedious
the answer this script

#! /bin/bash
IFS=$'n' #set env to escape to new line
for dirname in `ls -D `; do # find directories
cd *$dirname*
echo $dirname
mp32ogg --delete *.mp3 {} # transcode files to pygame friendly oggs
cd ..
done
find  -name '*.dwi' -exec sed -i -e"s:mp3:ogg:g" {} ;  # fix links to mp3
find  -name '*.sm' -exec sed -i -e"s:mp3:ogg:g" {} ;
find  -name '*.dance' -exec sed -i -e"s:mp3:ogg:g" {} ;
find  -name '*.step' -exec sed -i -e"s:mp3:ogg:g" {} ;
exit

this should work with most formats that are available
