Convert m4a to mp3
August 22, 2010
I have some music files in m4a format. Unfortunately, none of my music players seem to be able to change the tags, so I can't give it a specific genre.
Here's a script that will take a directory full of .M4a files and convert them to mp3. It relies on having lame and faad installed. I already had lame, faad was as simple as apt-get install faad in Ubuntu.
#!/bin/bash for i in *.M4a; do echo "Converting: ${i%.m4a}.mp3" faad -o - "$i" | lame - "${i%.m4a}.mp3" done
