linux convert aif – Scott Mcintyre https://scott.cm Web Operations Engineer, Linux Systems Administrator, mySQL DBA, MongoDB DBA, Python+PHP Developer, Performance Engineer Sun, 10 Jun 2012 11:42:56 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.2.3 Linux convert AIFF to mp3 https://scott.cm/linux-convert-aiff-to-mp3/ https://scott.cm/linux-convert-aiff-to-mp3/#respond Sun, 10 Jun 2012 11:42:56 +0000 https://scott.cm/?p=182 You can convert AIFF files to MP3 using ffmpeg on linux. This works with many other inputs and not just AIFF but in the instance I was testing I needed to convert AIFF.

First you need ffmpeg and libmp3lame which on Ubuntu and Linux Mint can be done with

sudo apt-get install libavcodec-extra-53 ffmpeg

Then use ffmpeg to do the conversion replacing INPUT.aiff and OUTPUT.mp3

ffmpeg -i INPUT.aiff -f mp3 -acodec libmp3lame -ab 192000 -ar 44100 OUTPUT.mp3

Sample,

scott@scott:~/Music$ ffmpeg -i INPUT.mp3 -f mp3 -acodec libmp3lame -ab 192000 -ar 44100 OUTPUT.mp3
