A few days ago my phone ran out of space.
Looking into it, well, part of the problem is that I rip my cd's to FLAC. Then sync those files over to my phone.
So, rather than manually use an audio conversion program every time I want to convert my FLAC files to mp3, I decided to just script it using bash and ffmpeg.
The end result is FLAC TO MP3.
Now, all I need to do, is run a single command in my terminal and wait a bit.
bash flactomp3.sh --source /path/to/source/root --target /path/to/target/root If I want to get fancy, I can set the bitrate, or force it to clean up songs I don't want anymore.
bash flactomp3.sh --bitrate 192k --clean-target --source /path/to/source/root --target /path/to/target/root And so on.
If you're wondering, I use Syncthing to sync my music to my phone. Syncthing is an awesome little tool. Seriously worth a look for all your file syncing needs.
I suppose that I might end up getting fancy later on and set up some kind of file watch on my source folder. Then, when a file is added or removed, automatically run FLAC TO MP3. We'll see.
And that's about it.
