Or you can just add real ffmpeg back in, as many of us have been doing for about 3 years now. If they've finally removed their fake ffmpeg package, that will actually make things less complicated (and maybe open the door to restoring big-boy ffmpeg over the objections of the butthurt avconv motherforkers). https://launchpad.net/~jon-severinsson/+archive/ubuntu/ffmpeg As for making it work without the find command, try something like this: #!/bin/bash for d in "$@"; do if [ -d "$d" ] ; then cd "${1}" && for f in *.flac; do ffmpeg -i "$f" -f wav - | lame -b 320 -m j -q 0 - "${f%.flac}.mp3"; done elif [ -f "$d" ]; then ffmpeg -i "$d" -f wav - | lame -b 320 -m j -q 0 - "${f%.flac}.mp3"; fi done Easy enough to put the find command right in the script, too, if you need to do it recursively. But what's wrong with encoding to mp3 with ffmpeg directly? Personally, I just do something like ffmpeg -i "$1" -b 320 `basename $1 .flac`.mp3 and it rarely fails. (If you've been using avconv pretending to be ffmpeg, maybe that's why it didn't work to your liking.) And when I want to copy tags over, I just use flac2mp3: https://github.com/robinbowes/flac2mp3 Rob _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
