or you can copy + paste following code: from
http://flodhest.net/files/linux/m4a2mp3.sh?embed=1
#!/bin/sh
MPLAYER=mplayer
LAME=lame
for m4a in *.m4a; do
mp3=`echo "$m4a" | sed -e 's/m4a$/mp3/'`
wav="$m4a.wav"
if [ ! -e "$mp3" ]; then
[ -e "$wav" ] && rm "$wav"
mkfifo "$wav" || exit 255
mplayer "$m4a" -ao pcm:file="$wav" &>/dev/null &
lame "$wav" "$mp3"
[ -e "$wav" ] && rm "$wav"
fi
done
exit 0;
Save it as m4a2mp3 and chmod +x and run ./m4a2mp3 in directory where the files are located.
Regards,
Antonio
