shrinktunes

shrinktunes is a convenience wrapper for ffmpeg batch jobs. It was originally created for batch converting audio files in a large asset library to various formats, containers, and compression levels.

Usage

Once installed, you can use the shrinktunes command to convert files specified individually or with a glob pattern. Below are some examples.

Convert a Single File

shrinktunes convert "path/to/your/file.wav" -o mp3

Convert Files to Multiple Formats

shrinktunes convert "path/to/your/files/*.wav" -o mp3 -o ogg

Convert with Verbose Logging

shrinktunes convert -v "path/to/your/files/*.wav" -o mp3

Force Overwrite Existing Files

shrinktunes convert "path/to/your/files/*.wav" -o mp3 -f

Installation

You'll need to have FFmpeg installed on your machine to use shrinktunes. If you don't have it installed, the CLI will provide instructions on how to get it based on your platform.

This project uses poetry for dependency management and packaging. To install shrinktunes, first get poetry, then run:

poetry install

Commands

shrinktunes convert

• <glob_pattern>: A quoted glob pattern for files to convert, e.g. `"path/to/your/files/*.wav"

  (Note: If you forget to quote it, it won't be interpreted as a glob, but rather expanded by your shell, which will likely result in an error.`)

• -o <ext>: Output format by file extension; must be specified one or more times. Supported formats are dynamically determined from ffmpeg (see shrinktunes info for common formats or ffmpeg -formats for all of them).

• -v: Enable verbose logging mode

• -f: Force overwrite of existing files

shrinktunes info

You can also use shrinktunes to print information about the available codecs on your system with the info command:

$ shrinktunes info
ffmpeg is installed

Decoders:
aac                  raw ADTS AAC (Advanced Audio Coding)
avi                  AVI (Audio Video Interleaved)
flac                 raw FLAC
m4a                  QuickTime / MOV
mp3                  MP3 (MPEG audio layer 3)
mp4                  QuickTime / MOV
ogg                  Ogg
wav                  WAV / WAVE (Waveform Audio)
webm                 Matroska / WebM

Encoders:
avi                  AVI (Audio Video Interleaved)
flac                 raw FLAC
mp3                  MP3 (MPEG audio layer 3)
mp4                  MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14)
ogg                  Ogg
wav                  WAV / WAVE (Waveform Audio)
webm                 WebM

Note It currently filters down to a few common ones (let me know of obvious oversights).

Use ffmpeg -formats to see the full list (they will still work with shrinktunes if ffmpeg can do it; the list is just overwhelmingly long so we have made it short).

Development

Clone the repository and install the dependencies with Poetry:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/shrinktunes.git
cd shrinktunes
poetry install

Tests

Tests utilize pytest. After installing the dependencies, run the tests with:

poetry run pytest

Or, inside a venv like I do:

$ source .venv/bin/activate
(shrinktunes) $ pytest
