I think you need an internal for loop like so:
#!/bin/bash
IFS="
"
for i in $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS
do
if [ -d "$i" ]
then
cd "$i"
for file in `\ls -` *.flac | perl -pe 's/^(.*)\.flac$/$1/'` ; do
flac -d "${file}.flac"
lame -V 0 "${file}.wav" "${file}.mp3"
# rm -f "${file}.wav"
# cd -
done
fi
done
The perl bit is just taking the .flac extension off of the filename so
that you can use the rest of the file name with .wav, .mp3, or whatever.
