Looking for FLAC => ogg (or mp3) directory sync script

Basically a non-lazy mp3fs

Something I can stick in cron because converting takes a long time

I've never tried it with a cron job but I use audioconvert (AUR, Thread). At the moment it appears to have trouble with special characters though

to convert to ogg you'll need vorbis-tools

You could try (it's recursive, so beware):

find -name '*.flac' -exec ffmpeg -i {} -acodec vorbis -aq 100 {}.ogg \;

Only drawback of that method is that you'll end up with filenames of the format "mysong.flac.ogg", but that's quickly rectified with a decent batch renamer.

Just use oggenc, not ffmpeg and everything's fine!
