FLAC-to-mp3

Script for extracting music from password-protected archives (p7zip) and converting FLAC files to mp3 (ffmpeg). Written for & tested under OS X / macOS, but should work on any system with these programs installed

This script will:

• Search the given directory for any .zip, .rar, or .7z files, and try to extract them with the passwords in passwords.txt
• Search the given directory for any .flac files, and convert them to v0 .mp3 format

Setup

• First, clone this repo.

git clone https://github.com/stevekm/FLAC-to-mp3.git
cd FLAC-to-mp3

• Make sure you have p7zip and ffmpeg installed. On OS X/macOS, you can install it with the following commands with Homebrew.

brew install p7zip
brew install ffmpeg --with-fdk-aac --with-ffplay --with-freetype --with-libass --with-libquvi --with-libvorbis --with-libvpx --with-opus --with-x265
brew update && brew upgrade ffmpeg

• Put your archive passwords in the file passwords.txt (included), one password per line.

Usage

Run the script on a directory that contains password-protected archive files (.7z, .rar, .zip) and/or FLAC files.

./extract_flac2mp3.sh "path/to/my_music_folder"

• NOTE: The path to the directory to process should not be a subdirectory of this repo.
