• File conversion tool

  I've always used soundconverter for this purpose, but I don't think it has a command line option: https://soundconverter.org/. Source: over 1 year ago

• How do you organize your music?

  For that, I've tried using SoundConverter. While it does work, more or less, it is quite bugged - sometimes it just puts files in random places, it can't handle album icons, and when there are issues with tags (No tags, tags with spelling issues, tags with encoding issues, you name it) it does weird things.

• FOSS tool to batch extract audio from videos?

  I wonder if SoundConverter can do it https://soundconverter.org. Source: almost 2 years ago

• mass converting flac to low file size mp3 without much loss in quality?

  Https://soundconverter.org/ would do the job. Source: about 2 years ago

• Any good software for lowering MP3 bitrate for multiple files and keeping metadata?

  Doesn't get much easier than SoundConverter, though it might be Linux only. Source: over 2 years ago

• Bandcamp support is faltering – maybe you should download your music now

  It supports ALAC. There’s a handy app called XLD (X Lossless Decoder) that will convert from FLAC to ALAC (and probably back) in a couple clicks if you need it. Lossless means I don’t really need to care whether my music is in an equivalent format, but I will admit it’s a bit silly. https://tmkk.undo.jp/xld/index_e.html. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Audio encoding question

  I would be surprised if XLD cannot do what you want. Source: 11 months ago

• This error keeps showing up when I try to import a CD. Any reason for that or any advice?

  Please ignore the misinformation in this thread about CDs being too old to be ripped, and download XLD and follow this guide. Source: 11 months ago

• What is your favorite mac app that you just discover in first half of 2023?

  I don't have any OPUS files, but personally, I'm fine with MP3s, so typically, I just run songs through XLD. Source: 11 months ago

• Moving CDs to ext. HD on Studio

  Take a look at XLD, it supports lossless formats (flac, alac, wav, aiff) as well as standard compressed formats. It also checks online services for metadata and album art. I ripped a ton of CDs with it. Source: 11 months ago
