Good grief - thanks Paul. I shall give that a try. There's a whole
scripting lesson in that one line! Am I right that that only looks for
flacs in the current directory? Is there an easy way to make it recurse
through all the subdirectories as well?
Before you posted that, I did install pcp-lame, and it didn't recognise
my flac file. So I installed pcp-flac, then googled a way to chain them
together:
flac --decode --stdout test.flac | lame --preset extreme - test.mp3
A single 250MB flac took ages to convert on my Pi Zero W. It would make
sense to use a faster machine for the initial bulk conversion. For
future additions to the library it won't matter that it's a bit slow
with one or two disks at a time.
A haven't tried the resulting mp3 file with an edited cue sheet in LMS
yet - a job for later this evening.
