Sungju's Slow Life

To convert FLAG files into MP3, you can find many good commercial software. But, if you don’t have many files and just need a quick and cheap way, you can try the below instead. It requires to have MacPorts installed, but it’s just for installing ffmpeg.

 
$ sudo port install ffmpeg 

Now, you just need to create the file named convert.sh on the directory you have flac files.

 
#!/bin/bash
DIR=$1

if [ -z DIR ]; then
    DIR="./"
fi

for f in "${DIR}"*.flac; do
    echo $f
    output="${f[@]/%flac/mp3}"
    ffmpeg -i "$f" -qscale:a 0 "${output}"
done

Now, set the mode and execute. That’s it.

$ chmod a+x convert.sh
$ ./convert.sh
