sablefoxx Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Running Ubuntu 8.04, and want a program that can scan an entire directory (/home/user/music) and convert all the .m4a files to .mp3. I have found ways to do this, but some programs will only do one file at a time. Does anyone know of a way to do all of /music/ at one time?

Emeryth Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 You just need to write a bash script that uses ffmpeg to convert the files, I'll leave you the fun of researching and doing it ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shido Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 well i dont know if lame can convert m4a to mp3 but yeah i know what you mean when you say it can only convert one file at a time, is there no way that lame can convert a whole folder of music?
