So I bought my dad a new MP3 player. His iPod was from 2005 so it was time for a new one.
Almost all of Dad's music files are .flac or .wav. The iPod played them thanks to rockbox.
This one does not. And my dad is more like the average user, so I wrote a little program to help him.
Well, program, more like a ffmpeg wrapper with Zenity. But it works and he thinks its easier than opening a terminal and executing a script in a folder. (which I disagree).

And the second version is finished. It has some new things, mostly as asked in the comments:

  • Extension select before folder.
  • Filter on extension
  • Check if files exist in folder.
  • Added .flv to input format (Youtube ripped videos)
  • Added .aac to input/output format
  • Quality selector for ffmpeg
  • Removed folder check.
  • Added nautilus open when converting finished.

Go get it, paste this in a terminal:

Note that you'll need zenity and ffmpeg:
