if you need to go deeper than beyond the working directory you ran it on ) I wrote a function that looks recursively at the current folder ( i.e. Which ones were alac so i could convert them to compressed m4a(aac) for better cross platform capabilities.

You will see the file's path get appended to the afinfo command. Next, drag an audio file over to the Terminal window and drop it in. Open Terminal, and type in-or cut and paste from below-the word afinfo followed by a single space: afinfo Packet size upper bound: 12334 maximum packet size: 12334Ĩ24799232 valid frames + 0 priming + 0 remainder = 824799232įor any readers unfamiliar with using the terminal, it's quite simple, and you won't break anything.
