Convert m4a to mp3

Damn my iPod doesn’t support m4a audio files ( http://support.apple.com/kb/sp27 )

No problem:

sudo apt-get install faad

#!/bin/bash
IFS=$'\t\n'
EXTS=( m4a M4A m4A M4a )
for EXT in ${EXTS[@]};
do
	for f in `find . -name "*.$EXT" -type f`;
	do
		echo "Converting m4a to mp3 ..."
		faad -o - "$f" | lame - "${f%.m4a}.mp3"
		rm $f
	done
done

Yes the script is similar to this resize multiple images
