Very good. In my own case, though, I place everything I download to one
directory, rename them from the names that 'Doze users like to make them,
change them to wav while transferring to another directory, check them to
make sure they're acceptable (friggin' napster/gnapster), then burn it
all from that second directory.
I don't keep them around (both mp3 & wav) because they take up too much
space. And changing them over I have a chance to watch on the commandline
to make sure they were ripped at 44100 instead of half that speed, which
some lame-os (that's not lame-OS, but the plural of lame-o) like to use
(makes 'em playback too fast). The previewing gets done by 2 of us, so
I'd have to teach her linux and commandlines and syntax and running
various players and........well, not a happy thought, that one. As it is,
I can get her to type "play <name>" and "dir" without too much problem.
But, if I have the opportunity to preview them in advance, your changes
will improve the process immensely by making it capable of changing
several at once.

0 and 1. Now what could be so hard about that?
