I put this in a script and added it to my path:

#!/bin/bash

if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then

explorer.exe $( cygpath `pwd` -w ) &

else

explorer.exe $( cygpath $1 -w ) &

Note: you can do this for any file that has an associated executable in the windows registry. This is quite handy if you want to open pictures or movies from xterm.

This heavy one liner gets all the files in the "/music/dir/" directory and filters for non 44.1 mp3 files. After doing this it passes the names to sox in-order to re-sample those files. The original files are left just in case.
