Re: [LAD] [LAU] mp3tom4a via find and ffmpeg

Hello Guerrier! Well that could end up being a little massy. Depending on spaces in filenames. You might try something like: for F in `find ./ -name "*.mp3"`; do ffmpeg -i "$F" -y -acodec libfaac -ab 192k "$F".m4a; done You could use mmv later on to move the .mp3.m4a files or you can use some shell magic, I've just seen this recently, I think it worked with percent signs, but I can't remember the sybntax. If you know about sed or awk, you could do something like: O=`echo "$F" | sed -e "+s/\.mp3$/.m4a/g"` Then your output filename will be $O in the script. I think this is better than the awk idea. :-) Warm regards Julien =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Such Is Life: Very Intensely Adorable; Frightening Absence Just Arriving, Reigns Disappeared, Ornate - flowers! ====== Find my music at ====== http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html .....................................
