Converting audio files is a frequently needed task when serving audio files to target services and users.
How to convert large batch of audios ?
Dependencies

avconvhave been removed from Ubuntu packages since 18.04. Use ffmpeg instead.
sudo apt-get install lame ffmpeg
man lame # then search for parameters via "/{param}". ex: /-m
Technolect
cbr: constant bit rate.abr: average bit rate.vbr: variable bit rate.
For more, see man lame.

Simple batch format conversion
for file in ./flac/*.flac
do
key=$(basename "$file" .flac).mp3 # name of the file minus .flac, plus .mp3
lame --abr 24 -m m -h --resample 22.05 "$file" "./new/$key";
done
Metadata-based format conversion
This example works on SWAC recorder audio files available at https://packs.shtooka.net. Those files contain rich metadata, with a SWAC_TEXT metadata field. In this example, we assume a folder with file audio-0a6f36g.flac and metadata SWAC_TEXT : 很.
for file in ./flac/*.flac
do
key=$(ffmpeg -i "$file" 2>&1 | sed -ne 's/.*SWAC_TEXT *: //p') # print metadata, assign SWAC_TEXT's value to variable.
lame --abr 24 -m m -h --resample 22.05 "$file" "./new-24k/cmn-$key.mp3"; # ex: cmn-很.mp3 (24k abr)
lame --cbr -b 96 -m m -h --resample 22.05 "$file" "./new-96k/cmn-$key.mp3"; # ex: cmn-很.mp3 (96k cbr)
done
