I recently installed a ALAC decoder for my Apple Lossless audio file's. I'm using it to decode all of my .m4a file's into a .wav format. Then I'm planning on using Lame to encode all of my .wav files into .mp3 file's.
Still with me...
?
Ok, this is extremely redundant executing the .alac script over and over again and entering song name after song name. I haven't even started with the Lame portion of things yet.
I was wondering if someone could help me out with a script (maybe someone's already thought of this) for this task. I was thinking of something along the lines of pointing the script toward an entire directory and using variables for the song names.
I'm having problem's with the song name portion, I'm not good with variables.
Code:
./alac -f /home/soulful93/Documents/Conversion/example.wav (output) /home/soulful93/Documents/Conversion/example.m4a (input)
Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.
