Automating Quicktime Player 7's audio conversion

Here is a little AppleScript to use Quicktime Player 7 (on a Mac) to mass-convert a directory full of audio files from one format to another.

To use it, open it in Script Editor, change the "basedir" setting to whatever your directory of files is, and change "*.spx" to whatever glob pattern matches your input format.

It's based on http://ldopa.net/2008/05/23/batch-export-for-quicktime-pro/, but adds support for globbing and doesn't require you to move your files around.
