Convert FLAC to M4A with FFMpeg Revision as of Monday, 14 September 2020 at 17:18 UTC
This is for macOS. You’ll need FFMpeg with this encoder.
brew tap homebrew-ffmpeg/ffmpeg
# or 'upgrade'. The "--HEAD" will fetch the latest release.
# Might save you trouble with ImageMagick versions.
brew install homebrew-ffmpeg/ffmpeg/ffmpeg --with-fdk-aac --HEAD
# Convert!
find . -name '*.flac' -exec sh -c 'ffmpeg -i "$1" -c:a libfdk_aac -b:a 320k "${1%.flac}.m4a"' _ {} \;
Problems
ImageMagick Version
Just install the latest ImageMagick and FFmpeg with --HEAD
.
Could not find tag for codec h264 in stream #0 codec
FFmpeg is trying to transcode any cover art. To fix, just add a -c:v copy
to the command.
