Actually you don't need a recursive routine. If you're in OD 10.2 or so or
later, 'entire contents' property in the Finder now works:


set theFolder to choose folder
tell application "Finder"
    set allMangles to every file of (entire contents of theFolder) whose
name extension is "#0"
    repeat with theFile in allMangles
        set theName to name of theFile
        set name of theFile to (text 1 thru -3 of theName) & "wav"
    end repeat
end tell
