Should I run the command `tr \\r \\n <macfilename> <unixfilename>' (minus the quotes) in A Terminal on textfiles ONLY or will tr harm any binary files?

After I migrate to Linux in a few months, I was planning to copy a large folder of text files to my home directory from a Macintosh. I was then going the open the terminal, cd to the directory of text files and enter `tr \\r \\n *'. But I just remembered that this folder (and sub-folders) of text files (called N0TES) also contains some pdf, jpeg, tiff, html, and mp3 files.

I was going to do this because I want to use some of the *NIX editors (Emacs, pico, hopefully NEDIT, and maybe nano) on some of these files.

Thanks in advance for any answers!
