Looking for advice/experience, especially if it's relevant to Linux, particularly pCP.
My music library sits on a hard disk attached to a Raspberry Pi (3B+) pCP server via USB - this drive is shared on the network via Samba. I have another Raspberry Pi (Zero W), also running pCP, that mounts this drive as a network share. This second RPi has a backup hard drive attached via USB that maintains an exact copy of the main library via a cron job that runs rsync once a day. What I'd like to do in addition is maintain a second, compressed (MP3), copy of the main library in a separate folder on the backup disk. I'll use this as a 'portable' copy that I can copy to a flash drive for use in another pCP in my camper van. I expect another cron job, running a transcoding script of some sort, would be the way to go, but what should go in that script? My desired script will only have to deal with 'whole album' FLAC files with associated CUE files (all other types of file will be dealt with in a one-off initial copy/transcode task). I think I'd want to transcode these to per-track MP3s, although if it's feasible to convert a 'whole album' FLAC file to a 'whole album' MP3, and automatically (via a script) adjust the CUE file to work with this MP3 file then I'd be interested. So how would I go about this? Could I somehow configure rsync to create a file list of changed files, to determine when files need to be added to the portable copy? What software would I use on a pCP to transcode a whole album FLAC file into single-track MP3 files, and how could I script this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110496 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
