Converting to OGG
- Login o registrati per inviare commenti
Greetings ladies and gentlemen.
I use oggconvert to transform mp3 to ogg.
The problem is that i can only do this with 1 file at time and I would want to select multiple files and let the program do the job instead of waiting for the program to finish and then selecte the next file.
Please give me a solution.
Thank you.
Oh, I forgot to mention that I want to convert sound files not video.
Why don't you use the star * instead of the whole filename?
Just copy the files you want to convert into a folder and then write *.mp3 as inputfile.
Not quite sure but this should do the job.
What he said. Also, I believe most software in GNU/Linux will give you the commands you can use if you type for example oggconvert --help
Maybe the way quantumgravity suggested will work, maybe you have to use a different syntax. Try the help command to see what you can use the program for. If not, maybe you can create a script (which would still require you to write all the names of the files you wanted).
I've already tried that and it doesn't work.
I'm looking for a way to do it from command line but I have to teach another person how to do it and he/she is not familiar with those kind of enviroments.
the oggconvert --help does not show anything?

Choose one of the Ogg command tools (dir2ogg, oggenc directly, etc.).
Make a small bash script around it that accepts a file or a directory as
an argument and makes the conversion. Provide the script to the person
who needs it. Even cooler is to use zenity to provide GUI input/output
and execute the script from GUI directly. I've used zenity exactly for
that - automate a task with a shell script and make it usable for people
using GUI.
Try dir2ogg. It converts many formats to ogg.
$ man dir2ogg
just like to point out, that converting from one lossy format to another lossy is a bad idea. these new OGGs aren't going to be as good, sound wise, as the MP3s you are replacing. for confirmation, see vorbis FAQ topic at http://www.vorbis.com/faq/#transcode
Ok, I will have this in mind; I will keep files in mp3 but I will transform the Wav ones to ogg.
Thank you.

I use currently. Properly preserves metadata, if I remember
correctly. Lacks a normalization feature (not repalygain, which I love
but the audio players compiled for the ben Nano Note don't seam to
support replaygain.), I have a badly hacked version which normalizes the
audio using sox. http://software.aross.me
or there's pacpl in the repo. which is what I have used in the past.
sudo apt-get install pacpl
Thank you jbar, It works like a Dream.
I need to program a script to make easier for my friends to use the tool.
GNUser, Oggconvert does not have a command line tool so I could not do those things.
Well, Thank you all.
Ups sorry... I don't know the software you were trying to use, I was merely giving you a suggestion (I thought it was a command line app since you said you were doing it that way).
Well, I am happy you at least got your solution :)
No problem, any suggestion is well recieved.
Also, let me wish you, to all of you, merry christmas.
Perfect, that is exactly what I needed, thank you very much.
They were very scared when I told them that I should teach them how to use the command line.
Also, thanks to all of you.
Soundconverter stop working suddenly for me at least in one of my laptops. I don't know why.
WinFF also works. It's a frontend to FFmpeg.
Now, with Winff, I have a lot of options.
Thank you again for your help.
You can use dir2ogg. It's available in Trisquel repo.
sudo apt-get install dir2ogg
