  hello

 can someone please help me with this?

 i can find all the mp3s in a directory and its sub-directories with
 this:

 find -name "*.mp3"

 i can also ffmpeg a mp3 to m4a with this:

 ffmpeg -i INPUT.mp3 -y -acodec libfaac -ab 192k OUTPUT.m4a

 now, i would like to pipe all that find finds into ffmpeg. 
 You could try something like this :

 find . -name '*.mp3' | while read f
 do
 ffmpeg -i "$f" -y -acodec copy -ab 192k "${f%.mp3}.m4a"
 done

 That should properly handle filenames containing spaces.
