Command line tool to convert audio files to mp3 based on gstreamer. There are many tools available, but I was not able to find one with the following features: - batch conversion of directories - handles all input files (using gstreamer plug-ins) - mp3 input files are just copied, not re-encoded - if the output file exists, it is skipped It has a uniq naming convention for the output file - the ouput file is named after the title of the song with all unicode characters decomposed and normalized (for example a u-umlaut "ü" becomes a simple "u"), and all potential non-compatilbe characters stripped. - to allow several versions of the same song, a hash of the album, track and title is added to the file name - the file is placed in a directory named after the artist with all sanitation mentioned for the song title
