Converting ape to ogg files
Posted: 5. Feb 2010, 17:56
Because I've been annoyed of converting all the ape files to ogg by hand (mac does not support * in command line), I've written a small script to do it for me:
Of course you can change to mp3, flac, whatever...
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
# converts ape to ogg vorbis files
case "$1" in
"-h")
echo "usage: $0 file1.ape file2.ape [...]"
exit 0
;;
"--help")
echo "usage: $0 file1.ape file2.ape [...]"
exit 0
;;
esac
for n in "$@"; do
n2=`echo "$n" | sed s/\.ape$//`
mac "$n" "$n2.wav" -d
oggenc -q7 "$n2.wav"
rm "$n2.wav"
done
