Because `find -type d` expands as a set of arguments that are space
delimited (and "for" expects such a list), any filenames with spaces in
them won't survive. You probably want to do something like:
$ find . -name '*.wav' -exec bladeenc -br 160 -prio=normal {} \;
or
$ find . -name '*.wav' | xargs -i@ -l10 bladenc -br 160 -prio=normal @
The "-l10" limits xargs to run bladeenc with 10 filenames at a time.
The '-i@' means put the list of files wherever there is an @.
Yeah, I prefer xargs.
