General :: Bulk Music File Format Conversion (OGG)
Apr 4, 2010
I have thousands of audio files in all sorts of formats. Whenever I install a distro this means that I always have to download a ton of different audio stuff as well (and I really don't understand linux audio). Typically this means gstreamer good, bad and ugly, xine, GNOME Mplayer and god knows what else. If I could change the formats of all files into a simple FOSS format I would. Is there a program that can detect current formats and do a bulk convert, into ogg maybe?
I think that the biggest problem that I have had is that some of the music (and audio books) that I have gotten have not played on my walkman, or have not been able to be downloaded in to I-tunes.
First: I hate itunes... I only try to make it work because I love my wife. (and do not want her to hit me)
Second: I know that my Walkman has a very limited range of files that it can play, so I will need to convert some types of files.
But my basic questions:
* How can I figure out what format a file is in? * Below that, how can I identify the singular characteristics of a file? (bit rate, and other formats...) * Is there a best way to switch the formats or format options of these files. (I am currently using sox to do this, it seems to very complete)
Basically. I know nothing! The most that I do not know is that two files that as far as I can tell have the same formats, and should work the same never the less, one of them works, the other does not. I am looking to figure out a way to look at these files (maybe they are mislabeled) and figure out what their real format is (and a more complete format than just being MP3 or such) and then to be able to convert it in to a format that is able to be used by myself and/or my wife.
Im using ubuntu 10.04 I would like to know if their is a program that can change the format, contrast, and brightness of a large bulk group of pictures instead of doing it one by one?
Y want to rename a bunch of files and directories to remove the space on the names, easy enough right?
Code: for source in $(find ./); do target=$(echo "$source"|sed -e 's/ /_/g'); mv -f "$source" $target; done
Well, I thought that should have work but the problem is that $source comes up broken, when I run it with echo instead of mv I get the echo with broken names.
Code: In this case "$source"="This is the file I want to rename" $ echo "$source"
I just learnt to convert a video file into mp4 format so I can watch it on my PS3. However, I have dozens of video files from my video cam, and want to convert them all. They are all in the same folder. Please can someone explain how I might be able to adapt the code below so I can convert all my files in a batch. Perhaps keeping their same name or giving them some other name, I don't mind.

I need to copy a large number of files, it comes to 1 lakh from one server to another. When I tried various commands using scp , ftp etc. It is saying "Arg list too long". In which way can we copy all the files. The Two servers are under Linux.
I have some music files (.mp3 and .flac) which have unmodifiable tags: After I change the tags, they revert to their original values automatically. It's not related to access permissions (using Linux) as in a same directory, with the same permissions, some files have modifiable tags and other not. Is there such a thing as "protected" or "unmodifiable" tags? Are there solutions to force modification ?

Quad processor, huge RAM, and more disk space than he knows how to use. So he decided to make it a tri-boot machine. He is a Mac 'biggot' (don't we all have our preferences?) but has been developing plugins for Cinema 4-D so he wanted to be able to span the spectrum.At any rate, we were chatting and he mentioned that he would like to be able to 'see' his Linux (he is using Ubuntu) drive while booted up in his Mac system.
I have an pdf file on my linux RHEL 4.7 machine. I can open that file but when i click on 'saveas' to save the file in 'Text' format there are no options i see there. I need to save the 'pdf' file to 'text' format. could anyone tell me how to save the pdf file to Text format. Iam using 'KDE'
i have a car stereo that reads a USB drive with all my music on it, however to sort through the music it uses a method of finding folders containing music, then displaying them all in a list. i find this interface annoying because in order to sort the music by artist i have to go and manually move it out of the album folders by hand, this takes a long time for 11+ GB of music so i was trying to use the linux CLI to quicken the process. use a command like this
Code:
mv /media/usb/music/*/*/* /media/usb/music/*/
but for some reason this moves all my music into the last folder alphabetically in my drive, the music is all pre-arranged like this /media/usb/music/artist/album/song
I'm using Rhythmbox to manage my music collection. I have ripped my CDs into FLAC files. I'm using the Motorola Milestone (The Droid) as my music player and syncing it using Rhythmbox.
Now, when I transfer my music files from Rhythmbox to the Milestone, it automatically convert the FLAC files to MP3. But the conversion is set to 128Kps.
How do I change this default conversion rate? Or even, how do I change to another conversion format altogether?
I've got a rather large CSV file (~700MB) which I know to consist of lines of 27-character alpha-numeric hashes; no commas or anything fancy. Somehow, during its migration from Windows to Linux (via winSCP and then a few regular SCPs), it has converted into some kind of binary format I am unfamiliar with.If I open the file in vi, everything appears fine, and it says [converted] at the bottom, although I know it's not a line endings issue (and dos2unix doesn't help). If I 'head' the file, it looks proper except for a " at the beginning of the first line. If I open up the file in nano, however, I see the at the start and then "^@" before every character (even newlines and EoF).
If I try to re-save or copy the file (say via: head file.csv > short.txt), this special encoding is preserved. I copied the first ten lines out of vi (which displays it properly) into my Windows clipboard via my SSH client, then pasted it into a new text file, test.txt. This file is visually identical when opened in vi (and similar through 'head', minus the ), although it's roughly half of the filesize. I have no idea what format this once-text file got converted to (it's notoriously hard to search the internet for symbols), but surely there must be some way to convert it back.
I'm trying to run a CGI file with Apache2, but when I navigate to it, I just get the file in it's plain text format and not actually parsing the file. What do I need to configure?
I've tried this Code: <Directory /var/www/> AddHandler cgi-script *.cgi Options +ExecCGI </Directory> And I've tried this Code: <Directory /var/www/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI AllowOverride All Order allow,deny [Code]...
I am trying to convert a mpg video file to mxf container format using ffmpeg by follwing command. ffmpeg -y -i INPUT.mpg -s 640x480 -vcodec mjpeg -b 5Mb -minrate 4Mb -maxrate 6Mb -bufsize 3Mb -an -f mxf OUTPUT.mxf
it compares two files using md5... if they are same , a corresponding character is output to a text file .. but the problem is it gets appended by default.. is there any way to output in a normal way because the text is a message and it should be of proper format here is my script
Code:
#!/bin/bash g=`tail -1 new.txt|head -n 1` array=( a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z ) for((i=1 ; i <$g+1 ; i++))
[code]....
the message is supposed to be hello , i need to get rid of the endlines somehow..

just wondering is there a simple script to convert datetime to UTC format. I have been searching different forums but most answers are for converting UTC to datetime. For example what is a simple command/script to convert todays datetime to UTC format i.e. '2009-10-09 11:47:59'.
