Re: [opensuse] Bulk converting *.flv files to *.mp3

I know that VLC will do such a conversion but having to convert some 200 files individually is not my idea of how I want to spend Sunday afternoons :-( .

vlc has so many command line options - I'm pretty sure that such a batch conversion can be done with it.  Maybe you have to wrap it into some shell code like:   $ find . -type f -name '*.flv' \   while read FLV ; do     vlc -some --opt -ion --out="${FLV%.flv}.mp3" "$FLV" ; \   done The options are not the real ones, just as an example. (This loop assumes that you don't have any 'very-special' file names, of course). Just dive into the manual.
