[MPlayer-users] problem running mplayer in script

Hi,

I've been trying to get mplayer to play/convert .wma files and it only works 
from the command prompt for some reason. Here's the script:

Dir="~/MyMusic"
CDir="`pwd`"
cd $Dir
i=1
CmdLine="mplayer -aop list=volume:volume=100"

find /home/steve/MyMusic/* -name "*.wma"|sort|while read song ; do
#find /home/steve/MyMusic/* -name "*.wma"|sort|while read -d. song ; do
        #echo "Song is ${song}.wma"
        #song="/home/steve/MyMusic/mohmp3/enya.mp3"
        #ext=".wma"
        song="/home/steve/MyMusic/Yes/Union/13-Evensong.ogg"
        exec $CmdLine "${song}${ext}"
        #mplayer -ao pcm ${song}.wma
        i=$(($i+1))
        # If file is over 1000 bytes it's OK
#       if [ "`ls -l audiodump.wav|cut -d' ' -f6`" -gt "1000" ] ;then
#               sox audiodump.wav ${song}.ogg
#       fi
        exit 0
done
cd "$CDir"

The commented out lines where for testing purposes.

Being that there are about 1800 files to convert it's not something I want 
to do by hand. The first find locates the whole name including the 
extension which I wanted to remove to make it convert nicer. The second one 
looks for file names with a period so I can do that processing. 

Then later on I decided to put the name in there to see if there's a problem 
with the name it finds. First I tried with a mp3 song with simple file 
name. Next was a harder name as it contains a dash.

Running them manually from the shell works fine. As soon as I execute the 
script it fails either with not being able to find the name or with many 
lines like below:

It 's clear that it does not like the name due to containing underscores and 
other symbols. So if you put them in quotes on the command line it solves 
it just fine. However I cannot get get the script to do that without it 
becoming an unknown file name.

So I cannot for the life of me see how to solve this. I've googled for 
others with similar problems to no avail. Ditto with searching this list.

Dir structure is ~/MyMusic/<Artist>/<Album>/song.ext
