Convert M4A to MP3

From Tomp Online Wiki

Introduction

My MP3 player does not play the music files that come from Apple IStore, so to convert them to MP3 use this little script:

First get the decoder and the encoder:

yum install faad2 lame

Now create this script and run it inside a directory of files:

#!/bin/sh
for i in *.m4a; do
  faad "$i"
  src=`echo "$i"|sed -e 's/.m4a/.wav/'`
  dst=`echo "$i"|sed -e 's/.m4a/.mp3/'`
  lame --preset medium "$src" "$dst"
  rm "$src"
done
