I have a large library of music in FLAC format. I need to create a matching COPY of this library in ALAC (apple lossless) format to be consumed by an ipod/iPhone.
Folder names are currently like this "Deftones - White Pony [flac]" I want to end up with folders like this "Deftones - White Pony [alac]" and matching ALAC files in the [alac] folder... Make sense? What's the best way to take care of this, large scale? What is available for command line use/scripting? |

What OS? Since you mention command line/scripting, I'm going to assume Windoze.
 foobar2000 + qaac = FLAC -> ALAC with minimal fuss (and completely customizable file/path names), although fb2k won't transfer album art. Of course, if you really want to write your own scripts for this, qaac is CLI, so there you go. -------------------- "Not sure what the question is, but the answer is probably no."

I believe dBpoweramp can convert to Apple Lossless.

dbpoweramp rocks! The bulk tool and multithreaded-ness of it is making this a DREAM.
