convert command is great for images but i need to convert audio
by Skaperen from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5T2AX)
when i need to convert the format of an image file i use the convert command. i thought it was odd to give it such a generic name. why not "convert-image"? that way someone can make such a command for other stuff.
i need to do some audio format conversion and need a non-interactive non-GUI command that works like convert does so i can build some automation scripts around it. so far all i have found are projects that want to become audio or A/V editors of the GUI nature.
anyone know of commands or programs like i nee? especially great would be a feature of understanding the format i want based on the file name extension.
Code:convert mysound.flac mysound.mp3but i can add that kind of thing by scripting around it. it needs to be non-interactive and non-GUI to work in a script.
