Hello,
I am using Audacity 1.3.13- beta on my Fedora 14 32-bit machine. I have a huge list of files (around 1000) in AU format spread across 10 folders, and I want to convert them into WAV format. I cant be opening each file in Audacity and then do File->Export and select WAV for each of these 1000 tracks. I want to know if there is some batch method that recursively goes through all the sub-folders in a folder, checks all the files that are AU and converts them to 16 bit WAV file format. Best solution would be if I can run this from the command line. Could someone help me out regarding this please ?

You just need to open the saved AUP file or files that those AU files belong to. Please see:
