This post is certainly obsolete...
-
installation on MacOsX Lion (with homebrew) :
brew install libcdio brew install lame two-lame mpg123 mp3gain brew install libogg libvorbis vorbis-tools vorbisgain brew install faac faad2 git clone git://github.com/laurentperrinet/python-audio-tools.git audio-tools cd audio-tools make make install
-
using it:
track2track -t aiff *.flac #lossless track2track -q 0 -t m4a *.ogg #lossy
-
and on a whole folder, placing the files in the same directory:
find a_folder/with/lots_of_flac -name *flac -exec sh -c 'echo "Processing $0"; track2track -t aiff "$0" -o "${0%.flac}.aiff"' {} \; find a_folder/with/lots_of_ogg -name *ogg -exec sh -c 'echo "Processing $0"; track2track -t m4a "$0" -o "${0%.flac}.m4a"' {} \;
tried as a formula in homebrew: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew but closed it.
