Hi all, I am using paperclip plugin to upload mp3''s. Before I save the mp3 I would like to convert it to a smaller size. I am using ffmpeg library and in my Track model I am calling: before_save :convert_mp3 def convert_mp3 system("ffmpeg -i #{mp3.to_file.path} -vn -ar 44100 -ac 2 -ab 64 -f mp3 #{mp3.to_file.path}") end But this fails. Am I missing something?

I'm using CentOS 4.4. It looks like I can use Sound Juicer (I normally use GNOME) or KAudio Creator in KDE to do this. I've been looking for gstreamer-plugins-mp3 with the Lame MP3 codec, but the files I find quickly are for early versions of Fedora Core. If someone can give me a URL for a version that will work on CentOS 4.4, that will be greatly appreciated. Or, another Application that

Hello, I am configuring a webradio and I'm using icecast2 with deefuzzer. the music streaming work, in mp3 format. I want to make a second streaming with my iphone, and the app that I'm using, Koalasan, can stream only in OGG, AAC or Opus. I want that when I start speaking, music stops and my voice is online. Deefuzzer is able to do this with "relay", but the original stream in

Hi, I am running a service where I play full songs but MP3 files kept on crashing my server. I resorted to wav but the quality is really poor after converting..or even sometimes not audible at all! Do you guys know of a better way I can convert mp3 to wav and restore quality? Below is the script I am using, I also tried the steps at

hi, i want convert mixmonitor recorded speech audio from wav to mp3 or aac can you recommend your settings for speech audio? filters, noise elimination, compression ratio, ... i will probably use lame thank you -- --------------------------------------- Marek Cervenka =======================================

Hello List! I have ordered an 80 GB iPod yesterday and I want my complete music library on it "for takeaway". Currently my library consists of mp3, ogg, and flac files. Has someone alread made a script to duplicate a music library consisting of various formats in mp3 ? I would appreciate if the directory hierarchy would we preserved... Thanks, Lars

Here's an extremely quick-and-dirty Perl script I wrote to do just that. This script depends on having the MP3::Info Perl module for ID3 tag information, and assumes that you have lame set up. It will take a flac file (or a wildcard) as an argument, decompress that file, and encode it as a fairly high-bitrate VBR MP3. I want to stress that this is just something I wrote for my needs, so

Hi Christian, There is a perl script called rip (rip.sourceforge.net) that I was looking to alter for a similar requirment (flacs at home -> mp3s on laptop). I patched flac support into it for the encoder a couple of months ago. At the moment it uses cdparanoia to rip from CD but should not be hard to add flac as an alternative 'ripper' to make wavs and then you can use the encoder

I'm just wondering if someone wrote a perl script to convert a directory with flac files into mp3 and preserving the id3 tag from flac to mp3? I have two harddrives where I keep my favorite CDs in flac and others in mp3 but when I get tired of them, I move them into mp3 and rather than popping the original CD in, it might be easier to just convert from flac to mp3 directly. Please cc me on

Hello, I have a large collection of audio files contains music in mp3 format, due to need to free space of hard disk, I need to reduce their size. It seems opus is the best format for this purpose, in order to have the quality of original mp3 files, currently I use ffmpeg command to convert them to FLAC and then use opusenc, the official opus encoder, to convert FLAC files to opus. By using one

Christian, Sorry I don't think I was so clear with my explaination of what I am doing. Your requirement flac -> mp3 is really a special case of ripping, if you think of the entire chain.... normal ripping: CD -> wav -> mp3 Your case is [CD -> wav ->] flac -> wav -> mp3 Which is equivalent to: flac -> wav -> mp3 I need this too and am proposing to use a ripping

Hi I am Rupesh from India. I have a huge directory of size 93.5 gb with 8500 mp3 files and 2000 sub directories. All these mp3s are speeches recorded by someone at 64 kbps. I want to compress these files recursively to opus using lame or another tool with 16 kbps bit rate and 11050 sample rate. I have compressed the above huge directory with above options using ffmpeg and the resulted

I have having problems trying to take a file recorded with Monitor and convert it to MP3. When I use 'play' to play the .wav file, it sounds fine. After bladenc'ing it, it plays at lightening speed, and the voices are all high pitch. I tried using sox to resample to 32000 before encoding, but that didnt work either. Do any of you convert your .wav files to mp3? Monitor call:

Taking the 128 mp3 and re-encoding to flac won't fix any quality issues you may have as they will retain the same 'flaws'. In the end you'll end up with the same quality as you would have seen going from 128 mp3 to q3 ogg. One nice thing about ezstream is that you can specify decoders for multiple formats so if going and ripping all your media again is too daunting a task you

For archiving from source media (CD usually) to flac? I typically use EAC either from Windows or Wine as it allows for the most configuration. Off the top of my head I think Sound Juicer will do it for *nix, though there are probably others that work just as well. Chris Dave wrote: > Hi, > Thanks.

Hello, in advance: You can also answer me in German. I know Icecast over 10 years very well. My problem is this and I am trying to describe it very short: If my Icecast stream/mount is offline, a recorded MP3 file should be played via the Icecast mount. The mount is configured as follows: <mount>     <mount-name>/LiveStream1.mp3</mount-name>    

Hi, I'll attach my ezstream.xml file to illustrate how ezstream can be "programmed" to do various on-the-fly re-encodings. The basic idea is to treat each <encdec> section as a pair of cmd-line tools: implying a *ix pipe connects the output of the <decode> cmd to the input of the <encode> cmd. The stdout of the <encode> cmd is fed back to ezstream for

Hello, I've got a new Icecast2 server that I'm setting up. Previously it was on a machine with ices0 so I could just stream a directory of mp3 files. Now using ices2 I've got to convert many files to .ogg and .opus, I also added in .flac for another project. So I goto the directory that for now just has .mp3 files and do: for f in *.mp3; do ffmpeg -i "$f"
