BAtch Music Converter (Python 2.7 and 3.4)
With the help of ffmpeg this script can convert the format of a music library. This can be handy to create a paralel library in MP3. Run it once a week and you'll have a nice and up to date library for mobile use.
If anyone cares input and output formats can be expanded. For now only Flac and Alac is supported as input and MP3, Alac, and Flac as output.
