Handy Hack: Pass podcasts from Liferea to Rhythmbox

I’ve started using a plain RSS reader (Liferea) to subscribe to podcasts. It’s nice to have my feeds in one interface. I’ve written s small script to hand the RSS enclosures to Rhythmbox (just supply the name of the script when prompted by Liferea)

#!/bin/sh

for i in "$@" ; do
	if test -f $i ; then
		/usr/bin/rhythmbox-client  --play-uri=file://$(cd $(dirname $i) ;  ls -1 $(pwd)/$(basename $i))
	else
		/usr/bin/rhythmbox-client  --play-uri=$i
	fi
done

Suggestions for improvement welcome
