Hi list,
I would like to decode a whole directory in a bunch. Probably I have to use some kind of ordinary *nix command (I'm from the other side), but I can't figure it out, and I can't find any description of this presumably easy matter in man madplay
Thanks in advance.

You can either have madplay decode everything in one go:
madplay -o out.wav *.mp3
(in this case there is only one output)
or if you need individual output files you can use some shell scripting to decode files one-at-a-time:
for file in *.mp3; do madplay -o $file.wav $file; done
The above is for Bourne-derived shells; hopefully yours is not of Csh variety.
I use the mad plugin for winamp and well...I became curious....is there an ACM codec based on mad?
Thx.
and happy new year!

MAD is no encoder, only a decoder, so instead of making an ACM codec ( which would have problems with VBR MP3, caused by the limitations of the ACM API ), somebody made a DirectShow decoder filter based on MAD IIRC ... but i heard its still buggy

well...that's what I meant....like ffdshow...
of course, it can be incorporated into matroska (.mkv), hence I've been using .mkv more often.
