[SOLVED]Simple question about bash

#1 Post by pythagorasmk »

I am not so good in bash, so I have simple question.
I have some music in ALAC (m4a) files, distributed in sub directories (albums). I want to convert them in FLAC.
I am trying something like this:

Code: Select all

for i in */*.m4a; do ffmpeg -i "$i" ${i%m4a}wav; done
to convert them in WAV format, but expansion */*.m4a is not working, I get the error message from ffmpeg that */*.m4a does not exist.
How to solve the problem with expansion?

You should use find to navigate through subdirectories.

However, there is a very good Bash script out there for converting various sound files to flac: https://www.legroom.net/software/convtoflac

I suggest you download it and study it. It's safe to use, by the way: I use it almost daily.

Firefox tells me that legroom.net is not safe to browse. Do you have another link from where I can download the script.

You can copy it from here:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
#	App Title:      convtoflac.sh
#	App Version:    2.1.5
#	Author:         Jared Breland <jbreland@legroom.net>
#	Homepage:       http://www.legroom.net/software
#
#	Script Function:
#		Convert losslessly compressed audio file to FLAC format, preserving tags
#		Currently supports FLAC, Monkey's Audio (APE), Shorten, WAV, and WavPack
#
#	Instructions:
#		Ensure that all programs are properly set in "Setup environment"
#
#	Caveats:
#		Transcoded files will retain original file name, but use .flac extension
#		The one exception is for FLAC input files - the original input file will
#			be renamed <name>_old.flac, and the transcoded file will be named
#			<name>.flac.
#
#	Requirements:
#		The following programs must be installed and available
#		sed (http://sed.sourceforge.net/)
#			used to handle case sensitivity and tag processing
#		trash-cli (http://code.google.com/p/trash-cli/))
#			used for moving files to trash rather than deleting
#		flac/metaflac (http://flac.sourceforge.net/)
#			used to create and tag new FLAC files
#		alac (http://craz.net/programs/itunes/alac.html)
#			used to decompress ALAC (Apple Lossles) files
#		mp4info, part of libmp4v2 (http://resare.com/libmp4v2/)
#			used to read tags from ALAC (Apple Lossles) files
#		mac (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mac-port/)
#			used to decompress APE (Monkey's Audio) files
#		apeinfo (http://www.legroom.net/software)
#			used to read tags from APE files
#		shorten (http://etree.org/shnutils/shorten/)
#			used to decompress Shorten files
#		ttaenc (http://www.true-audio.com/)
#			used to decompress TTA (True Audio) files
#		wvunpack (http://www.wavpack.com/)
#			used to decompress WavPack files
#		ffmpeg (http://www.ffmpeg.org/)
#			used to decompress MLP, TAK, and lossles WMA files
#			optionally used to decompress ALAC, APE, Shorten, and WavPack files
#
#	Please visit the application's homepage for additional information.

Can we see the exact message? Your line looks okay to me.
The line is OK, except that the ${i%m4a}wav should be in double quotes.
Could you give me example how this job can be done by find command. I want to learn new things. Thanks.

Something like this run from the directory containing the albums:

Code: Select all

find . -name "*.m4a" -exec ffmpeg -i {} $(basename {} m4a)wav \;
