that'd be lame
Cooper Brown
ffmpeg -i tune.flac -c:a libmp3lame -q:a 0 tune.mp3
but it's not capable of encoding multiple files simultaneously, bash scripts may come useful
Ryder Nelson
youtube doesn't use mp3
Hunter Diaz
ffmpeg is shit with audio codecs
Ryan Roberts
hmmmmmmmmmm......
Carson Davis
fre:ac

ffmpeg uses libmp3lame, the library version of lame, which is the best mp3 encoder

LAME & FLAC
This is the tool I use for converting albums at once
github.com
It has a parameter for converting n songs in parallel
bash it up for converting a shitload of folders at once

jezus. Why do you need tools for such easy tasks?
1. Make windows show file extensions
2. Rename file - just change "flac" to "mp3"
3. Done.
I f you want to automate this just write small bat file.

Explains it all in LAMEmans terms.

That thing that I used on Foobar2000
Noah Scott
Foobar of course
Liam Ortiz
apt install soundconverter
or
# batch convert .m4a to .mp3
parallel ffmpeg -i "{}" -q 2 "{.}.mp3" ::: *.m4a

Supposedly, and I'll have to take people's words for it, lame is best for VBR. If you're doing 320kbps CBR fraunhofer encoder is still the best.
Zachary Harris
Listen to the FLAC with your best headphones while singing the song in to an audio recorder. Make sure to do acapella parts for all the instruments.

>If you're doing 320kbps CBR
there's no good reason to ever do that, though
such a high bitrate is wasted on mp3, it literally makes more sense to use mp2 before 320kbps mp3
the only reason anyone has ever picked 320kbps mp3 is because that's mp3's maximum supported rate, and "bigger is better", right?

I want a fem to peg me
Joseph Jenkins
These are both correct. ffmpeg for ease of use, SOX for in-depth. Both can also be parallelized with ease with GNU parallel. However, I should mention that Opus is a superior lossy codec to MP3 in all aspects.
Connor Perry
OP had better deliver.
Wyatt Price
You're going to catch some flac over your lame jokes.

and use oggs instead, if you can. better compression and quality
David Ramirez
Literally the only time this answer is wrong.
Just pipe the output of flac -d into lame.
Dominic Flores
how do I convert a bunch of ape files in several subdirectories to flac?

this
be sure to specify -q 0 instead of pleb defaults
Evan Hernandez
apt install mac
Grayson Reyes
okay

criminally underrated
Brandon Brown
I use Foobar to do this, since I already use it as a music player.
