Feb 28, 2022 at 22:40 comment added Unix Thanks again! Totally agree with that: having the latest is not always the best option. That's the reason I migrated from Arch to Debian some years ago (maintenance).
Feb 28, 2022 at 20:30 comment added Hannu Well, lame isn't installed per default in Ubuntu, so no problems there. Dunno about Debian, I suspect the situation is the same. FLAC will bring your music file count down by a factor of ten or so. This just proves that "having the latest" isn't always the best option.
Feb 28, 2022 at 19:55 comment added Unix I think I'm gonna convert all mp3 files to AAC or FLAC, because this fixes the issue without dealing with the encoder directly.
Feb 28, 2022 at 19:53 comment added Unix I know bash and I know how to compile. The sentence «I would like to make it scriptable to encode a lot of files recursively» was not the question. The question was about how to reformat an audio file with a different encoder. I used ffmpeg to convert an audio file to AAC format and it worked. I'm gonna try the FLAC format as well, before compiling an another LAME version. (What could happen if I compile an another LAME version in my Debian? Could this cause incompatibilities in some command line tools that I use every day, like yt-dlp, ytfzf, mplayer, mpv?)
