flac2pod

Converts your existing FLAC library to be played on an iPod Classic.

This script makes use of ffmpeg to convert your existing FLAC music library to AAC-256 or MP3-320 for easy iPod Classic use. It also takes advantage of "rg2sc" (https://github.com/rwinkhart/rg2sc) to convert any existing ReplayGain tags to Apple SoundCheck tags that are compatible with Apple products.

Usage

Simply run...

flac2pod <source_dir> <destination_dir>

...to convert your library, or run...

flac2pod --help

...to see additional options.

In order for flac2pod to function, your source_dir must be structured as follows:

source_dir -> artist dir -> album dir -> FLAC files
