mp3ify

Transcode audio files to mp3 format. Simple as that. Works with a single file or a directory.

Prerequisites

You must have ffmpeg installed on your machine.

Mac OS X

Brew is the simplest way to install ffmpeg

brew install ffmpeg

Windows/Ubuntu

See the guide here

Usage

mp3ify <file | directory> --<options>

You may pass either a file or directory to the program. Conversion will be attempted on any files detected with an audio/* mime type.

Files will be saved in the calling directory and will have the same name as the original file with .mp3 appended.

options

• --bitrate - the bitrate of the generated mp3 file in kb/s. default: 320
• --quiet - suppress console output during encoding, exit with code 0 even if there is an exception. default: false

For example, say there is a directory named wav-files on your home path full of .wavs that you need to convert to mp3:

mp3ify ~/wav-files --bitrate 320

That will convert any file that is detected to have a mime type of audio/*.

Build

The code is written in ES6 and compiled down to ES5 using webpack. To compile all project files into bin/index.js, run the following:

npm test
npm run build
