convert-library

A Python script I use personally for converting/copying my music library in preparation for putting onto devices with limited storage space.

Usage

usage: convert-library.py [-h] [-i --input] [-d --dir]

A utility for converting all music files to a lossy equivalent and to a new
location, preserving directory structure and copying album artwork..

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
  -i --input  Directory that marks the root of the library structure.
  -d --dir    Directory to output new library to.

This script will walk the entire directory tree of input/, use ffmpeg to convert all lossless audio files to ogg opus at 192kbps, and copy all others and album art, preserving directory structure, to dir/.

Currently, this script considers these following supported files:

Lossless audio:

• *.flac
• *.alac
• *.wav

Lossy audio:

• *.mp3
• *.m4a
• *.ogg
• *.opus

Album art filenames:

• albumart
• cover
• folder
• front

Album art file extensions:

• *.jpg
• *.png
