I am migrating my music over from itunes to run on Amarok (or another player that may be better and can sync an ipod touch running ios 4.2.1). The first step is to copy my music files from my itunes directories into the music folder on my hard drive, /home/music.
The problem is, I have about 1/3 or 1/4 of these files purchased directly from itunes, and so they are in the proprietary itunes format, *.m4p.
I think they should be playable with amarok, but I haven't tried it.
My first thought is that I would like to segregate all the m4p files into one directory folder. /homes/music has multiple sub-directories with the artists names, and those have sub-directories with album names on them.
I was thinking the command line would be faster than one by one, if there is a command line program similar to 'mv' that will look into a directory and all its sub-directories to find files of type *.m4p, and move them to a separate directory.
'find' will find the files for you.
From there I can work with them in some way. At the very least I will know which ones are in the m4p format so that I can go back to my windows pc, burn them to audio cd (if there are not too many), and then rip them back to mp3.
I wonder if ffmpeg would be able to convert them. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.6°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
