RE: [Flac] Batch Process for wav->flac?

[Frank Russo]

Also, If using perl, you can convert between formats quite easily (aac, 
flac,ape,wav,etc)...

Someone re-read this as I don't have an installation to test this on at the 
moment.

Copy/paste into convert.pl and run
perl convert.pl c:\mydirectory aac
or
perl convert.pl c:\mydirectory mp4
or something


Change the following lines to suite your needs
              faad   $noext.aac $noext.wav
              flac -8  $noext.wav


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

# --- grab dir and filter from cmd line ---
my $dir    = shift @ARGV || '.';     # default to .
my $filter = shift @ARGV || '*.aac'; # default to *.aac

# --- run 'find', break into array ---
my @find = split /\n/, `find $dir -type f -name "$filter"`;

# --- process each file ---
foreach my $file (@find) {
     $file =~ s/([^\w\.\/-_,])/\$1/g;              # escape non-word chars
     my $noext = ($file =~ /^(.*)\..*?$/)[0] || ''; # get filename w/o ext

     # --- customize this to your needs ---
     my $cmd = qq[

              faad   $noext.aac $noext.wav
              flac -8  $noext.wav

             # rm $file $noext.wav # uncomment when you know the previous 
cmds work
     ];

     print $cmd;     # display what we're gonna run (optional)
     #print `$cmd`; # run it (uncomment when ready)
}

In linux.....  Something like
-----------------------------------------------------------------
for FOO in `ls -R | grep wav` ; do flac -5 ${FOO} ; done
----------------------------------------------------------------
or
--------------------------------------------------------------
find . -name "*.wav" | while read FOO
do
       flac -5 "${FOO}"
done
---------------------------------------------------------------

Now, if you're using winders, All I can do is give you some perl

---------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

my $dir = shift @ARGV;

opendir DIR, $dir;
while (my $file = readdir(DIR)) {
        next unless $file =~ /wav$/;
        my $cmd = qq[flac -8 "$file" ];
        print "$cmd\n";
        print `$cmd`;
}
closedir DIR;

I have a hard disk full of live shows.  Each show is in an individual 
folder
(titled by name and date of show), and contains the individual wav files 
of
the show, labeled "disc1track1, disc1track2, etc."  It's the same naming
scheme in each of the 200 or so folders for each show.



I want to convert each audio file to flac - is there a way to do this all 
at
once?  I can't just copy and paste each file into the frontend because 
they
share file names.  What would be ideal is some way to add the folders to a
list, and have it encode any audio files found in each folder.  Thanks!
