Assume you have a whole mess of WAV files that you want to convert. First let's turn them into MP3s.
lame --preset insane *wav
This basically creates the mp3 at 320, which is, uh, insane, but it's the highest quality level. If its not 320, I don't want it. You may choose 192 or above; unless it's speech, I would NEVER use anything less than 192.
Now let's convert your WAVs to FLAC files.
shntool conv -o flac *.wav
If you're using a Debian-based system, you'll probably need to do this first:
sudo apt-get install shntool
Is that not easy or what?
