musicsync

Convert your music folder into another format, for portable purpose.

I write this tool to sync my music folder to portable devices (two laptops, one cell phone), because I need to compress my lossless music to lossy format for portable purpose.

Default options are Opus 192K, this is pretty much transparent and playable on most modern devices.

Usage

Requires ffmpeg executable in PATH.

You can simply ignore those whole lot shitty options. Specify your music folder and a target folder, and that's it. Music will be converted into opus format and covers will be copied.
