Updated: 2020-02 and again 2021-08
a simple:
apt update
apt install ffmpeg
BRINGS BACK ALL THE FFMPEG GLORY!
THANK YOU DEBIAN! 🙂
(and all involved)
so my script works again! 🙂
(can convert almost ANY format (aac, m4a you name it) to mp3!)
SO NICE!
shortcut: the fix for this seems to be to simply replace
“This program (ffmpeg) is not developed anymore and is only provided for compatibility. Use avconv instead”
not true see here: http://blog.pkh.me/p/13-the-ffmpeg-libav-situation.html
instead of forking ffmpeg, libav developers wanted to take over and kill ffmpeg 😬
luckily ffmpeg is still alive and kickin’ 😀👍😎✌️ good job all involved! love it!
ffmpeg -i "$1" -acodec libmp3lame -ac 2 -q:a 2 "$1.mp3"; # avconv synonym for ffmpeg? avconv -i "$1" -acodec libmp3lame -ac 2 -q:a 2 "$1.mp3";
see: https://dwaves.de/2016/07/05/linux-avconv-alternative-to-ffmpeg-encode-anything-aac-m4a-to-mp3/
another reason i hate updates… one CentOS based workstation i did not update for ages… and this script
# create the file vim /scripts/mp3.sh # fill with #!/bin/bash echo "$1"; ffmpeg -i "$1" -c:a libmp3lame -ac 2 -q:a 2 "$1.mp3"; # save and quit in vim :wq # mark runnable chmod +x /scripts/mp3.sh # let's convert some files :) /scripts/mp3.sh file.m4a ... beep bop ... # in the same folder one will find file.mp3 # GOOOOOD JOB! :)
do not to forget to celebrate!
… also the small achievements! (this is a BIG one so double-celebrate!)

let’s batch it
will convert all.wav files into all.wav.mp3 files in the current directory (modified version of src)
cat /scripts/mp3.sh
#!/bin/bash
for FILE in *.wav ; do
ffmpeg -i "$FILE" -c:a libmp3lame -ac 2 -q:a 2 "$FILE.mp3";
done
