I'm trying to un-ipod some songs.
Does anyone know why the following command gives me an mp3 with a horid
hiss?
#!/bin/bash
for i in *.m4a; do
faad -o - "$i" | lame -m s - -o "${i%m4a}mp3"
done
using the faad plugin in XMMS gives me crystal clear sound on these
songs, but stinking not so for this here command.

I don't know the options to faad or lame well enough to
comment directly, but I use these 2 scripts, and they work well.
Maybe something will present itself.
----script-1----
#!/bin/sh
### cvt_faad.sh ###
FAAD=/usr/bin/faad
for M4A in $(ls *.m4a) ; do
faad $M4A
done
----script-2----
#!/bin/sh
### cvt_faad.sh ###
FAAD=/usr/bin/faad
for WAV in $(ls *.wav) ; do
MP3=`basename $WAV .wav`
MP3="${MP3}.mp3"
CMD="lame -h -b 192 ${WAV} ${MP3}"
echo "${CMD} ..."
$CMD
done

ok, thanks Paul! your scripts don't yeild hissy files.
I added the -h and -b 192 option to lame one at a time, and the both,
but stll get hissy output from my script.
i wonder if this can be blamed on the use of a pipe? that's beyond me.
I always thought pipes ment cleverness and where as to linux as apple
pie is to the USA. shall i loose faith in ye ole pipe?

I ran your commandline on one of my m4a and it sounded great with
faad2 2.1-cvs20051104.02 and lame 3.96.1
One note though: when using Pauls script faad is hardcoded to /usr/bin/faad.
Perhaps you have another (buggy) faad in your path that's used instead.
Try running faad (without a /usr/bin path) on some song and listen to
the .wav . I bet that's hissy too.

Is there an easy way to get the songs off the iPod under Linux? I had
ripped a ton of CDs and put them on my GF's iPod then the disk with
iTunes on it failed. I REALLY don't want to rip them all again - can I
use this method to turn the .m4as on the iPod into MP3s?
(Man I can't believe I wrote that in Apple-Caps)

I've used gtkpod to get songs off of ipods with both apple and windows
formatted ipods, and then used faad/lame to make mp3s.
(If the songs are stored as mp3, then obviously no conversion is needed.)
The trick is mounting the ipod. gtkpod accesses the ipod thru a normal
unix disk mount. for me its:
<snipped from fstab>
### IPOD ###
#/dev/sda3 /mnt/ipod hfsplus noauto,user,rw 0 0
/dev/sda2 /mnt/ipod vfat noauto,user,rw 0 0
</snip>
windows partitioned ipods have their data in /dev/sda2, and mac ipods
have their data in /dev/sda3

This does not work for me. What distro are you on?
I made sure gnome-volume-manager, dbus and hal are installed. But when
I launch gtkpod I get:
'/media/ipod/iPod_Control/iTunes/iTunesDB' does not exist. Import
aborted.
In fact /media/ipod does not exist. If I create it and mount the thing
manually I get permissions errors.
How is this supposed to work? Is gnome-volume-manager supposed to
create the /media/ipod directory? Should it already exist? What are
the correct permissions?

lee, make sure you turn off journalling on the ipod first. you'll need a
mac os x system, and use the diskutil(1) tool. linux will only mount the
ipod as a read-only FS if journalling is enabled, because the current
linux support for journalling on HFS+ is not believed to be robust
enough.

Sorry my 1st email hasn't reached the list yet, but you

I pulled this from my previous post:

Do you have an entry like that in your fstab?
The "user" option is what allows a user to mount the
partition. (Usuaaly the "mount" command balks unless its
run by root.)
Also, I have the "rw" option in mine, because I don't
know what the default is, so it doesn't hurt to make
it explicit.
Before you even start gtkpod you need to be able to go
to the ipod partition (/mnt/ipod for me) and do
a "touch test ; rm test".
That way you know you have write perms.

I don't see it mentioned if the ipod in question is formatted
