Question
I tried a few audio converters but they were very limited. For example I can't find one that converts to AAC 512kbps (from FLAC).
Does anyone know of a powerful Linux audio converter? As powerful as AVS for example?
The program "Audacity" (which is an audio manipulation program) is able to do this conversion and is really good regarding the plenty of options it has but The problem is that I have to do it file by file. I need to convert about a thousand files at once. If there's a way to make Audacity convert "in batch" then we'd have reached the goal.
Explanation / Answer
Using Fedora 21 you can convert flac to aac (320k) like that:
ffmpeg -i input.flac -strict -2 -b:a 320k output.m4a
Feel free to use any encoding bitrate (512k or whatever, and YES, It`s working!). Be sure you have installed ffmpeg from rpmfusion repository.
