Ok fedi pals, tell me a command line for converting a bunch of FLACs to MP3s ** using cvlc **
(Yes, I know how to do it with ffmpeg, but ffmpeg is very slow for transcoding, and cvlc is very fast. I have got hundreds of these fuckers to do)
(No I don't want to use flac2mp3, either, just because I just don't want to).
OK so for completeness, I remembered I had a script that captured a live stream and rendered it to file using cvlc, so I fucked around with that a bit and it works.
cvlc input.flac :sout="#transcode{acodec=mp3,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=48000}:file{dst=output.mp3,no-overwrite}"
Also, I have no idea why I thought it was quicker, if anything it's fractionally slower than using a flac-lame pipeline or ffmpeg 🙄
