LAME (audio/lame in Ports) will do conversions: bash-2.05b$ lame -b 32 -h Python411_060823_Milestones.mp3 ID3v2 found. Be aware that the ID3 tag is currently lost when transcoding. LAME version 3.96.1 (http://lame.sourceforge.net/) CPU features: MMX (ASM used), 3DNow! (ASM used) Resampling: input 32 kHz output 22.05 kHz Using polyphase lowpass filter, transition band: 8269 Hz - 8535 Hz Encoding Python411_060823_Milestones.mp3 to Python411_060823_Milestones.mp3.mp3 Encoding as 22.05 kHz 32 kbps single-ch MPEG-2 Layer III (11x) qval=2 Frame | CPU time/estim | REAL time/estim | play/CPU | ETA 600/40388 ( 1%)| 0:07/ 8:35| 0:07/ 8:51| 2.0471x| 8:43 etc. If you want to do multiple files you'll need to write a script to call LAME multiple times. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
