Format option "ALAC" about lidarr-flac2mp3 HOT 6 CLOSED

You can code in ALAC support (or any other ffmpeg supported format) by creating a custom wrapper script. I discuss this in the Syntax part of the README.

In your case, based on your question above I would create a /config/flac2alac.sh file that looks like the following:

#!/bin/bash

. /usr/local/bin/flac2mp3.sh -a "-c:v copy -c:a alac" -e m4a

Let me know how that works out. You may find you also have to include a bitrate, via -b:a.

To your second point, I have considered a batch mode, but there are file tagging issues that with that approach that aren't easily addressed. However, let me take a fresh look at this.

Thanks

@Chris230291, I added the batch mode to this dev repo. Please test it out.

Thanks. Unfortunately I have already converted existing tracks using db power amp. By the way he correct command for alac is . /usr/local/bin/flac2mp3.sh -a "-vn -acodec alac" -e m4a this stops a lot of errors with album art metadata etc. Its not such a big deal omitting it because Lidarr can just add it back.
