macosxhints - Get the most from X!: "I've been using a similar method to get from flac to mp3:


for file in *.flac
do
flac -c -d '$file' |
lame -h -m s -b 192 - '$(basename '$file' .flac).mp3'
done

Then I use id3tool (installed via fink) to hack up the tag before importing the files into iTunes. (It's possible to modify the id3 tag from the lame encoder command line, but I prefer to do it externally)."
