This script re-encodes all flac files in the currect directory with your current version of flac, and puts the newly encoded files in a directory "recoded" in the currect directory.

CODE

#!/bin/sh

OUTPUT="recoded"
mkdir $OUTPUT

for f in *flac; do
flac "$f" --best -V -o $OUTPUT/"$f"
done

even shorter:

CODE

mkdir recoded && flac --best -V --output-prefix=recoded/ *.flac

But the windows version of flac doesn't support wildcards, or am I wrong?

EDIT: durrr, he's on about the unix version...

the windows shell (cmd.exe) doesn't support wildcards. flac+bash on windows works fine.

How can I get this script to go into all folders in a directory? [recursive]

Use Sweep.exe. Works great. It can be found here at HA; please do a search.

CODE

glob.exe -c flac.exe --force -6 -V -S- --delete-input-file *.flac

It's great to use my old DOS. I put this in a batch file and call that with sweep to process it recursively.

Thank You, but I need this for Linux. I'm new to Linux and would write my own script if I knew how.
