Re: [gentoo-user] Batch audio converter?

[dexters84]

There was a bug in my pervious script

#!/bin/bash
new_files=$(find /path/to/input/ -iname "*.ogg")
inc=1
for x in $new_files
      do
          filename[$inc]=$x
          char_count=$(stat $filename[$inc]|wc -c)
          name_end=$(($char_count - 6))
          out_name[$inc]=$(*stat* $filename[$inc]|cut -c 10-$name_end)
          ffmpeg -i $filename -vcodec mp3 -ac 2 -ar 44100 -ab 256k 
/path/to/out/$out_name.mp3
          inc=$(($inc + 1))
      done

Hi,
   I've got about 200GB of OGG and FLAC files on my local machine. My
son bought an iPod and wants me to do a batch conversion to mp3. Can
anyone recommend something in portage that can do this in more or less
a single step? Directory hierarchy is basically
band/album/audio_files.

   Extra points I suppose if it can write the output to a different
machine across the network - Windows XP or Gentoo - so that I don't
have to deal with storage issues in this end.

Thanks,
Mark
