[Trisquel-users] Doing something with lots of files using find(1)

I doubt ffmpeg would cover that, as that's a job for another program.
find FOLDER -type f -iname '*.m4a' -execdir ffmpeg -i "{}" "{}.flac" \;
This should work recursively, work with filenames that have spaces in their
pathnames, and leave you with copies of both M4A and FLAC files next to
each other. So be sure to run this only if you have plenty of free space.
You can delete the M4A files later (in a second find command) or as you go
(with "-delete" as an additional find argument). Shell for loops won't do
all these things, and they run the risk of filling the shell input limit.
You can rename the flac files from .m4a.flac to .flac with
find FOLDER -iname '*.m4a.flac' -execdir rename 's/\.m4a\.flac$/.flac/i'
"{}"
Replace FOLDER in either command with the path to the toplevel folder
containing the M4A files.
If you want to do more than one ffmpeg transcode at once, check out GNU
find's (-P option) or check out GNU parallel.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Does anyone know this Libreboot X200 vendor?
calmstorm said Nope, not a clue. Looks like a good vendor. Just make sure you get the libreboot stuff and not the coreboot heh. About the funnyboot? SIMILAR TO SPEEDY GONZALES USES. About the stitch boot? Made in the USA About the Contact glue boot? Like the one made in china! The similarity of a COREBOOT OR LIBREBOOT they all wear some type of boot.. Lol

[Trisquel-users] Guix issue
Howdy, I installed guix binary re instructions at https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Binary-Installation.html guix-daemon.service is loaded active running according to systemctl but when I try to run the hello program or a pull, it kicks me out of the session, I have to log back in and all my work and running programs are gone, I have to restart everything. The following clue from syslog: Mar 28 06:48:00 trisqdesk guix-daemon[878]: SIGPOLL Mar 28 06:48:00 trisqdesk guix-daemon[878]: unexpected Nix daemon error: interrupted by the user I am in Flidas on my laptop. Guix is running on my desktop in Trisquel 8. In the terminal I do see it start (have yet to get the locale set up so it warns about that) and have even watched it start the pull from hydra etc but suddenly session shuts down and I am back at the login screen. Anyone else experience this, any ideas?

M4A is a container which can also contain lossy formats such as AAC. If you need to batch convert, just use a for loop such as this (to convert m4a to flac): for i in *.m4a; do ffmpeg -i "$i" "`basename "$i" .m4a`.flac"; done;

I did it Logged in went to aforementioned: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/flidas-release-issues Select Edit button added [Solved] to WiFi not able to connect to Hidden network and Missing dependencies for CD/DVD burn software and select Preview to see how it looks and then Save
Re: [Trisquel-users] Why is Trisquel 8 taking so long
Should I mark those issues as solved? How do you do that?
[Trisquel-users] Re : SoundConverter won't convert .wma to .mp3
The problem I had in switching from Apple to GNU/Linux was the "bunch" of .M4A I have made in iTunes. If the losless of the m4a format is ok and is playable in VLC, converting them is another story, because it is not a free format and iTunes didn't played Flac files (I don't know if it's always the case). I use avconv (the libre equivalent of FFMpeg) and I do : $ avconv -i input.m4a output.flac Convert all tour files can be quite long. Maybe a solution sould exist for converting cevral files in the same command but I don't know how. FFMpeg tutorials could tell you to do it. I don't kow if it's working with WinFF. Maybe you sould try avconv for your .wmv if everything else has failed. Remember m4a is a lossless format, not a lossy format ! So convert them in aiff, wav or flac ! As I said, I don't know why keeping m4a files if it's only really compatible with iTunes. iTunes suks ! I also recommand the libre format opus, available in SoundConverter who is much more better than the old mp3 for a good lossy format for your future convertions. https://opus-codec.org/ https://opus-codec.org/comparison/

Re: [Trisquel-users] SoundConverter won't convert .wma to .mp3
You can try FFmpeg to convert. There is also a GUI (WinFF).

Re: [Trisquel-users] SoundConverter won't convert .wma to .mp3
VLC didn't work for transcoding .wma either. Segmentation fault.
