Convert WAV to MP3 or MP3 to WAV
Boy I would have loved this post a decade ago when I was ripping CDs from my local library. The memory is actually quite hilarious: I would request 100 CDs at a time from the local library system, pick up however had been delivered at 10 a.m. that morning, and return them at 5 p.m. that day. I had a giggle with the librarian in those days but the real giggle was the fact that the WAV files were bloating up my hard drive.
The following simple command would convert those WAV files to MP3s:
ffmpeg -i song.wav song.mp3
Of course converting from MP3 to WAV would simply be swapping the extensions in the command above.
ffmpeg is a marvel of a utility. Video conversion, audio conversion, and probably the key to world peace. Thank you ffmpeg!
