flacjack Go Report Card

Convert all FLAC files in a directory tree to MP3 files

Details

This program converts all FLAC files in a directory tree into MP3 files, which can be output to the same directory tree or a parallel one rooted elsewhere. The program will create all directories it needs to in the destination directory tree. As a simple example, if you point the program at a directory containing two subdirectories with FLAC files in them:

artist1/album1 artist2/album1

The program will create directories with the same names in the destination tree, and place the converted MP3 files there.

The command-line programs "flac", "metaflac", and "lame" must be installed and in the path.

The FLAC files must have tags, which will be set on the converted files too. The required flags are: artist, title, genre, album, tracknumber, and date.

The program will run as many converters in parallel as there are cores. It outputs to the command line and uses terminal escape codes to output in color. Right now it doesn't bother checking to see if it's outputting to a tty before using the codes.
