The post title comes from “Convertible” by The Wedding Present, or Theweddingpresent as they were presenting themselves in 1996 when they released Mini, featuring this track. The recursive conversion and artwork/metadata mapping works better than in Audacity, so I’ll be doing this from now on. To run this test with the Phoronix Test Suite, the basic command is: phoronix-test-suite benchmark encode-opus. This test uses Opus-Tools and measures the time required to encode a WAV file to Opus. Using it for other file types is also an improvement on my previous Audacity macro approach. Opus is a lossy audio compression format designed primarily for interactive real-time applications over the Internet. This workflow meant I could convert all of the opus files I had. It converts it using our parameters and names the output file by switching the extension for mp3. Among included libraries are libavcodec, an audio/video codec library used by many commercial and free software products, libavformat (Lavf), an audio/video.


Initially, an mp3 subdirectory is made, then ffmpeg receives the opus file via the quoted curly braces as an input. This one-liner will find (recursively) all. iname '*.opus' -exec bash -c 'D=$(dirname ".mp3"' \ Ĭredit to this StackOverflow answer.
