i'm not very knowledgeable in bash scripts and it's loop functions, but 
it seems reasonable for me to do a:

for i in *.flv; do ffmpeg -i $i -vn $i.mp3

not sure if $i.mp3 is a legal option, and anyways, i think this will 
create a file.flv.mp3 name. still needs some minor editing :P
hopefully, i'll learn some more from the upcoming emails :D
