Hello, Everyone :)
My question is, is it possible to take an already existing mp3 (128
kBits, 44.1 kHZ, joint stereo) and re-encode it so that it is in
mono(at 128 kBits of course). (...)
you can try this:
lame -m m input.mp3 output.mp3
I never try it because I mainly translate 128 to 32 kbits mp3 (for
music rehearsals) using this: lame -m m -q0 -b32 input.mp3 output.mp3
-q0 is for best quality (slower) and -b32 for 32 kbits.
It really works very well.
Thanks Guy for your speedy response :) I had somewhat the same idea
when I was on my way home earlier, and it works perfectly :)
But I have an additional question: how can I type that command so that
it will re-encode all the mp3's in the folder? One time, when I tried
using wild cards in coverting multiple mp3's into multiple wav's, I
ended up with one 400+ meagabyte wav file, not multiple wav files. I do
need to add, though, that the 400+ megabyte wav file was perfectly
usable, just, ahem, not very convenient to find songs in :) By copying
and pasting I can make a REALLY long shell script to do the job, but I
figure there has to be an easier way...
Thanks again for your help :)
