Open Source Unix Shell Audio Conversion Software

The Dodger-Tools are a constantly growing collection of BASH tools and Debian packages for Linux users and administrators.

Simple audio (AAC, FLAC, MP3, MP4, MPC, OGG, WAV, WMA) converter written in Bash 3.

Automatic command line CD ripper and ogg encoder along with freedb.org client. It tries to connect to freedb.org server to get CD info. If no info is found a text file may be provided instead. Also supports FLAC and MP3 (ID3 tag).

BAC is a command-line tool that converts, to a target audio file format, all the audio files stored in a directory tree of any depth. Supported file formats are OGG, FLAC, MP3, AAC, ALAC, WAV, in all ways, and WMA as source. Main audio tags are preserved in the process, as well as most file name characters (white spaces, question marks etc). BAC runs on Linux and probably most UNIX-type OSes. On Windows, it must be operated from the Cygwin environment. It requires the following software to be installed: - flac and metaflac (flac files only) - vorbis-tools (ogg files only) - faac and faad (aac files only) - lame and madplay (mp3 files only) - alac-decoder and mpeg4ip-utils (ALAC decode) - ffmpeg (ALAC encode, wma decode) - mplayer (wma decode) - mp4v2-utils (AAC, ALAC, WAV decode) BAC is now optimized for multiprocessing on multicore systems: a tunable number of cores can be used for simultaneous conversions.

A fairly simple bash script that runs through every .m4a file in the current directory, converts them to .mp3, then deletes the originals. Depends on faad and lame. Future updates will traverse subdirectories recursively to convert entire libraries.

wv2ogg is a bash command line script that encodes wavpack files to Ogg Vorbis files. While doing so, it can also transfer all tags and replaygain information from the wavpack files to the Ogg Vorbis files.

Xconvert es un pequeño programa para automatizar la conversion de mp3 a ogg, con el plus de tener una ganancia elevada e igualada de todos los temas. Tambien puede convertir todo un disco a partir de un punto determinado que le indiques.

Command line utilities for verifying, tagging, converting, and burning lossless audio files (e.g. SHN, FLAC) and also provides conversion to MP3/OGG.

MobileMate is an open source video and audio converting tool customized on Tinycore Linux. It use Bash to glue open source tools such as Mplayer, FFmpeg(Libav), Zenity, Grep, Sed, etc.. It features as a self-booting tiny linux, can easy expand to your language, small size, easy to custom as your needs, etc..

TCDR is a ncurses (dialog) based console frontend for the following programs: mkisofs, cdrecord, cdrdao, cdda2wav, cdparanoia, readcd, dd, isoinfo, sox, mpg123 and bladeenc written in bash.

XMedia is an XML framework to manage a large collection of media files like CDR, Images, Video, MP3, etc. XMedia does for media what DocBook does for documentation. See http://xmedia.sourceforge.net/

Batch script for audio encoding. Supports MP3, AAC, Vorbis, Opus, FLAC, AC3, DTS and WAV (decoding) output and is intended to be used on directories with audio files. Filtering through MPlayer and automatic tagging with MediaInfo is also supported. audenc is no longer developed. Please use: https://sourceforge.net/projects/microenc/

microenc is a small Bash shell script for Linux/BSD for encoding directories with audio files to other formats using FFmpeg as encoder.

The Audirella is a piece of ripping CDs and converting audio formats in the form of wizard. Use great tools such as: cdparanoia, cdda2wav, bladenc, lame, oggenc, oggdec, etc.. It is written in shell-script and uses Xdialog to generate the windows.

EasyAac is an easy to use shell script which converts MP3 files in an M3U playlist to AAC+. Usage: easyaac.sh playlist.m3u bitrate Please note that bitrate is specfied in kbps This script requires lame, aacplusenc and MP4Box installed. In most Linux distributions, MP4Box is provided by the package "gpac" it can be installed in Ubuntu by issuing following command sudo apt-get install gpac

LEG is the Linux Encoder Gui. It exist in order to make life easier for users to do file conversions, whether its converting plain avi to mpeg or performing dvd rips and converting to different media types like IPODs, SmartPhones, IPAQs, etc.

Midi2ogg is a shell-based frontend to TiMidity++ and Oggenc that allows the user to convert a midi or mod file to Ogg Vorbis at the desired quality level with a very simple command syntax.

Creates printable covers for your (mp3) CD/DVDs. Creates a LaTeX file with front and back covers listing of artistnames, albumnames and songnames by examining the directory structure and the MP3 tags. The output PS/PDF can then be printed easily.

converts ape-image to mp3-tracks

Script for converting audio CDs ripped in lossless formats (APE, FLAC, WV or WAV) to another audio formats (OGG, MP3, MPC).

Converts an audio CD to file(s), incl. CDDB metadata and playlist generation. Supported output formats: .flac (default lossless encoder) .mp3 .ogg .opus (default lossy encoder) .m3u8 .pls (default playlist format)

glu10 is a console/terminal application written in shell script that converts videos and dvds to work with iriver u10 and other iriver products.

kavenc is a KDE application which allows easy conversion of videos and audio files, as well as the extraction of audio from video files.

LOLY stands for "lossless to loosely", which is a bash script decode the lossless audio file, split the wavchunk and encode the split wav file into loosely encoded files with automatic tagging support (m4a only so far) according to the CUE sheet file.

mkbook turns one or more source files into an m4b file. m4b files are audio files optimized for audiobooks. They contain metadata (the book's title, writer, album, year and cover art) and can be bookmarked (your mp3 player won't forget where you left off).
