Drupal includes a module called media mover, which
uses ffmpeg to
automatically transcode media files to the format of your choice. We
are actually using this for video transcoding and thumbnailing, but I
think it can be used for audio files as well. The only trouble at the
moment is that in the 6.x version, there are some outstanding bugs
which are currently awkward (though possible) to work around. This
will probably be cured in time (by me if no-one else...)
Drupal is definitely overkill for what I need at the moment, I'll first
try to get something working with a simple CGI script or similar. But of
course the requirements might change later on, so I'll keep Media Mover
in mind.
Thanks,
