@thisisthebreath sets of double quotes around each of your two $ parameters should do the job

@thisisthebreath Yeah - a few methods described in this page using the find commandhttps://www.baeldung.com/linux/iterate-files-with-spaces-in-namesThis page suggests defining $IFS (as well as a few other methods)https://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/handling-filenames-with-spaces-in-bash.htmlPlenty of options available.

@thisisthebreath Like this:for file in *.flac; do ffmpeg -i "$file" \-q:a 0 "${file%flac}.mp3"; doneI broke it into two lines for clarity.

@thisisthebreath just noticed, leave out the extra . Before mp3 or you'll get two periods in the output file names.

@thisisthebreathchange "DESTDIR" to a full path to the base directory where your files will go:find -type f -name \*.flac -exec bash -c 'i="{}"; o="/DESTDIR/${i%flac}mp3"; [[ -d "${o%/*}" ]] || mkdir -p "${o%/*}"; ffmpeg -i "$i" -q:a 0 "${o}"' \;

@joel 1/2 ok im stuck again! this script can derive mp3s to a new directory and the -vn strips album art (a lot of the source files have oversized .jpgs and ffmpeg makes them bigger .pngs in the mp3. in a perfect world i would have it map foldersm.jpg from the same directory to the metadatafind -type f -name \*.flac -exec bash -c 'i="{}"; o="/full/path/to/new/dir/${i%flac}mp3"; [[ -d "${o%/*}" ]] || mkdir -p "${o%/*}"; ffmpeg -i "$i" -q:a 0 -vn "${o}"' \;

@joel 2/2 pursuant to this request, ffmpeg has this command to resize jpgshttps://stackoverflow.com/questions/28806816/use-ffmpeg-to-resize-imagein a perfect world i would have it extract the (typically 1600x1600 ~1.5MB) embedded artwork, resize it to a 400x400 jpg (typ 150KB), then append that to the mp3s. absent the -vn switch in the command in the preceding posts, it copies all metadata straight across. ive tried inserting -i /absolute/path/to/foldersm.jpg after -i "$i" ut t doesnt like it - says it cant open it

@joel 1/2 ok im really close. i found a py script that can recursively strip album art and padding from flacs and dump the large album art in the folder and i know how to resize album art to a second smaller file using ffmpeg and should be able to figure that out recursively. but im stuck here. This command copies the flac audio stream and embeds the small art. should work recursively and duplicate the 'stripped' dirs to new 'tagged' dirs. but i cant find foldersm.jpg without an absolute path

@joel 2/2 find -type f -name \*.flac -exec bash -c 'i="{}"; o="/full/path/to/folder/tagged/${i}"; [[ -d "${o%/*}" ]] || mkdir -p "${o%/*}"; ffmpeg -i "$i" -i /need/full/path/to/foldersm.jpg -map a -map 1:v -disposition:v attached_pic -metadata:s:v comment="Cover (Front)" -codec copy "${o}"' \;1. how do i parse path to folder.jpg? or copy the absolute path from the arguments?2. how do i append " - FLAC16" to the end of the new tagged directories? ${i - FLAC16}" and ${i} - FLAC16" both fail
