Correcting a juvenile mistake

If you are past twenty, I bet you had some moments like this in your life; where you fall for the fancy shiny things even though there isn't any good stuffs in those. Since you are a kid at that time, you can easily ignore those mistakes.

For me, when I first ungraded from Windows 98 to Windows XP in fall of 2002, I fell for Windows Media Player 7. I was really fancy and much better than it's predecessor. Also it seemed like WinAmp was a redundancy in my system. And then it happened. I don't know why I did this but I started ripping my music in Microsoft's native wma format ditching mp3.

I carried along these wma files with me half way across the globe. But on last weekend, when I was copying music to my phone to play on new car stereo, I found that my android does not support wma natively. Then I said, "OK! This is it". I have to get rid of these shitty things. And I finally did with this simple shell script that I hacked from various internet sources. It recursively goes in the directories and looks for wma files. Once it finds them, it converts them to mp3 and deletes the original ones.
