This is a great little bit of code for converting a folder of M4A files into MP3 files to be used by a Flash Audio player. You can find more about converting files on a Linux server at this wonderful Wiki page.

#!/bin/bash
for i in *.m4a; do
  # out=$(echo $i | sed -e 's/.m4a//g')
  # mplayer -ao pcm "$i" -ao pcm:file="${i%.m4a}.mp3"
  faad -o - "$i" | lame - "${i%.m4a}.mp3"
done
