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

Warning : avconv have 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.

Helpers

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
