But what if you don’t have Windows Media Player available? Use the above command. Sure, Windows Media Player can convert WMA files to MP3. Working with Microsoft file formats can often lead to difficulties. $ for i in *.wma do ffmpeg -i "$i" -acodec libmp3lame -ab 192k -ac 2 -ar 48000 "$(echo $f| head -c -5).mp3" done Sometimes it just makes more sense to save out all of your audio in WAV format and use the above command to convert all of your files into MP3 in one batch after all editing is complete. And some audio editing programs do a poor job of encoding audio to MP3-either it takes a long time to do or it is done with poor accuracy. When editing audio, most sound files will be converted to WAV format upon load so no sound quality is lost during the editing process. Translates to: for each WAV file in the directory I’m currently in, use FFmpeg to convert each file to a MP3 with the highest quality audio possible. They also assume that your working directory is the one in which all of the files you want to edit reside.
The commands in this article assume that FFmpeg has already been added to your path ( learn how to do that here). I’ll briefly explain what each command does and how I put it to use. The following five commands are ones that I use on a daily basis. It supports the most obscure ancient formats up to the cutting edge. From :įFmpeg is the leading multimedia framework, able to decode, encode, transcode, mux, demux, stream, filter and play pretty much anything that humans and machines have created. So what exactly is FFmpeg? It is a command line tool you can use to edit a variety of multimedia files and formats. But if you find yourself repeatedly making the same edits to one file after another, using software like Sound Forge, Soundbooth, Vegas Pro, Premier Pro, or whatever else, there’s a good chance FFmpeg can greatly increase your productivity. FFmpeg isn’t the perfect editing tool for every occasion. Since I started using FFmpeg, editing multimedia files from the command line, I’ve started saving a ton of time-time lost in the past to simply opening, loading, decoding and encoding files. I vaguely remember opening audio and video files, one by one, in something like Sony Sound Forge or Adobe Premier Pro, making an edit and then re-saving/re-encoding the file.
In fact, I can barely remember life before I started using FFmpeg.
