A run.sh file with the commands to convert the flac files (this script is executed automatically).Įcho ' This script convert all flac files from a folder to mp3 files to a second folder' Įcho '.

the flac files transformed to mp3 ( VBR high quality).

An exact copy from the source folder into the destination folder, with:.

The destination folder (you need to create it before).

The folder of your music library (flac/ogg/mp3.

I've written a small bash script to do this. you may want or need to replaceĪvconv -n -nostats -loglevel info -i '$fullfile' -codec:a libmp3lame -qscale:a 0 '$outfile' # it works, didn't want to start a if not exist statement. # create whole target directory - yes, I need it only once, but hey, # generate the full output filename for conversion # ignore this, it strips only if it exists # some subdirs in my collection even have a flac subdir, you might

# count the dirs, add two, then you're good.

# this might be able to be super short with sed and complex one-liner, # my music folders, remote is the source, local the target dirįor i in $(find $remote -type f -iname '*.flac' ) # file, during runtime collisions should not become an issueĪnd the worker script like this: #!/bin/bash # not all 4 processes will want to start with the same # sleeping time can be shorter, this is just so, that My script to spin up the 4 instances, one for each core, is like this: #!/bin/bash I am open for any suggestions from your side, but so far it works for me. I am by no means a bash hacker, but I managed it, as my first bash script with the given demands, and maybe someone will benefit. My first runs were with the ffmpeg bin and the exact same options. Just replace the command avconv with ffmpeg.

Oh, and yes, I see, I didn't use ffmpeg in that case, because my OSMC didn't provide packages for ffmpeg, only avconv, but since you're already here, I guess you know, it's 'basically' the same - at least for the most important part.

I took everything I found here (and maybe on some other sites) and created a small tool to not only create mp3s of flacs recursively, but also preserve relative paths to create them elsewhere with multithread support.
