papaschtroumpf Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 My MP3 player won't play ogg files so I need to convert them to MP3s I could use Audacity but I havea bunch tracks and want to do them as a batch. Can you guys help? command line preferred by GUI is OK too. [moved from Software by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtriley98 Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 plf has ogg2mp3 in the free noarch section http://ftp.club-internet.fr/pub/linux/plf/...3plf.noarch.rpm I haven't used it myself, try this link it may give you some ideas http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWT...CD-Burning.html Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 yeah, ogg2mp3 is the obvious choice, it's just a v. simple script that decodes oggs and sends them through lame to re-encode to mp3, will work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaschtroumpf Posted May 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 got it! Gives your computer a workout too, gave me the opportunity to check that my gkrelm temp warning worked :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Does ogg2mp3 give your cpu a workout on its own or does my loop do it? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamw Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 I can't see any conceivable reason why you'd want to, unless there's a player out there that *won't* play regular MP3s but *will* play AAC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nchancock Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 I echo this, seeing as though the re-encoding will produce a loss of quality. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Considering the conversion from OGG to MP3 produces the same if not more reduction in quality, what is the point of even doing that? They're based on totally deffierent psycho-aucustic (sp?) models so when you convert them you lose everything that MP3 removes and then everything that OGG removes on top of that. On the other hand, I'm not sure what the difference between MP3 and AAC is in their compression techniques, but since they're both MP* maybe they're more similar ... Anyone know?

adamw Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 nchancock: well, because there are many devices out there that won't play Vorbis but _will_ play MP3 (quick example off the top of my head, my PSP). That's why there may be a decent recent to do that particular transcode. I've never heard of something that'll play MP4s but not MP3s, though, which is why I question the need to do _that_ transcode.

nchancock Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Just out of curiosity, what are the advantages of AAC over MP3 anyway? I mean besides the greater compression ratio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
