FLAC to MP3 conversion done

August 19th 2007 Posted to Computers, Music

It took several days of crunching on my Pentium 4 box, but now all our FLAC files (recently ripped from our CD collection) have been transcoded to MP3.

$ ./flac2mp3.pl | tee flac2mp3.out
...
325 artists, 579 albums and 7806 tracks processed
$ du -sh mp3/
42G     mp3/

Now I’m doing an rsync of all of the mp3 files to another hard drive so we have a backup and then I’m going to hook up Nicole’s laptop to one of the drives and get them into iTunes so we can sync all our music to our iPods.
