NeroAacEnc with multiple files

[Animortis]

I would like to create AAC files using NeroAAC.

I have directories of wav files I need to encode and I cannot figure out how to do this with the neroAacEnc command on the command line. The program will not accept neroAacEnc -if *.wav -of *.aac as a valid command, though FAAC, LAME and OggEnc will accept similar commands.

I lack the coding skills to write a proper script for it. I'd just like to be able to type in a command and have an entire directory converted from wavs to aacs with the Nero codec. Is this possible? If not, can it be programmed? How?

Thanks.

At the directory prompt for folder containing .wav's try this - (blue is adjustable, 0.375 is around 128k

for f in *.wav; do neroAacEnc -q 0.65 -if "$f" -of  "${f%.wav}.m4a"; done

or if you wish an .aac ext. (some players don't like the .aac ext

for f in *.wav; do neroAacEnc -q 0.65 -if "$f" -of  "${f%.wav}.aac"; done

Note this will give you same name files, - spaces/characters don't matter

Amazing! Thank you! I am going to post this on Hydrogenaudio.org too, for people to use with credit to you.

A very adaptable command, either alone or in a script.

you can adjust the save path by adding directly in front of
"${f%.wav}.m4a"

Ex. to Music dir in home
for f in *.wav; do neroAacEnc -q 0.65 -if "$f" -of ~/Music/"${f%.wav}.m4a"; done

or make a dir in the pwd and save there
mkdir m4a
for f in *.wav; do neroAacEnc -q 0.65 -if "$f" -of ./m4a/"${f%.wav}.m4a"; done

ect., ect.
