# Encode a WAV to a finalized podcast MP3 with metadata, in the current directory
# Requires lame
# With Homebrew on Mac OS X: brew install lame
# Usage:
# Call the script with three arguments:
# -t or --title followed by the title of the episode in quotes
# -s or --summary followed by the iTunes Summary for the episode, in quotes
# the name of the file, which is assumed to have the episode number in it.
#
# So, for episode 104, the correct syntax would be:
#
# encode-podcast.sh -t "Minutiæ" -s "Please email us about Photos.app, UXKit, and React." atp104.wav
