For what it's worth,
$ echo lamp3.mp3 | sed -e "s/mp3/wav/g"
lawav.wav
which is probably not what's required.
$ file="bright lamp3.mp3"
$ wavfile="$(basename "$file" .mp3).wav"
$ echo $wavfile
bright lamp3.wav
Still doesn't help if someone calls a file "Windows User.MP3". If that's
a problem, then you probably do want to revert to sed:
$ echo lamp3.MP3 | sed -e "s/[Mm][Pp]3$/wav/g"
lamp3.wav
Hope this helps,
James.
