clod morning

@vaporeon_ @aescling nothing. the program would just stop and only a fraction of the files were converted

@Lady yeah I could have done it simpler

@Lady whats wrong with esac

@aescling @vaporeon_ this actually didn't work which I find infinitely baffling

@Satsuma seems I am on the same wavelength as you from a year ago

@Satsuma OH

@Satsuma aw damn i missed this one

@SportsGoblin *unexpected errand

@SportsGoblin I opted out of my family fantasy league this year and then the day of the draft my younger sister had an expected errand and asked me to do her draft for her lol

@Thomas I want one pls ​​

@vaporeon_ yeah

@vaporeon_ It was some weird issue with WSL.

If you run bash from a windows terminal, it briefly opens a WSL instance to execute the command. For some reason this closed early

I used a WSL terminal directly instead of running bash from a windows terminal and it works just fine now

@vaporeon_ I'm not getting any errors. I am very conbfused

@vaporeon_ for some reason this will quit before finishing all of the files...

@vaporeon_ a little searching tells me that audio encoding is typically handled with a single thread

hey @vaporeon_ is there a good way to parallelize the following bash script I'm using to convert FLACs to MP3s?

#!/usr/bin/env bash

find "./${1}" | while read -r file; do
  case $(file -b "${file}") in
  'FLAC '*)
    echo "${file}"
    ffmpeg -nostdin -i "${file}" -ab 320k -map_metadata 0 -id3v2_version 3 "${file%flac}mp3" -v 16
    ;;
  *)
    ;;
  esac
done
