Convert a Lossless file to play in iTunes and iPods
Not ideal for iTunes and iPods, at least not yet, but there's an easy way to convert SHN files directly to Ogg Vorbis. You need oggenc installed, which is part of the vorbistools package at http://www.vorbis.com/download.psp , and the shorten CLI tool.
for FLAC files install the flac CLI decoder and use
Convert a Lossless file to play in iTunes and iPods
That's pretty sweet! Thanks for the addition. I personally can't wait until Apple adds support for Ogg Vorbis in iTunes and their iPod ... that would really rock! Of course, I would probably replace the part of the script with a desired Quality number (I think highest is 10 or 400 kbps) ... for example, if all I'm doing is playing the track in UT2003 (eg. use UnrealEd to develop a map for community distribution and use that song exclusively for it), then it would be a setting equivilent to 128 kbps (which I forgot what Quality number that is since I haven't touched Ogg Vorbis in ages). If it's for general listening, I might go for a higher bitrate, say 192-ish.
the method i've been using
I've been using a similar method to get from flac to mp3:
Then I use id3tool (installed via fink) to hack up the tag before importing the files into iTunes. (It's possible to modify the id3 tag from the lame encoder command line, but I prefer to do it externally).
while we're at it...
...here's a script I wrote for converting my CDs to flac format:
Enjoy!
