ffmpeg-convert-mp3-to-wave

ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -acodec pcm_s16le -ac 1 -ar 16000 output.wav

# To convert all mp3 files in a directory in Linux:

for f in *.mp3; do ffmpeg -i "$f" -acodec pcm_s16le -ac 1 -ar 16000 "${f%.mp3}.wav"; done

# Or Windows:

for /r %i in (*) do ffmpeg -i %i -acodec pcm_s16le -ac 1 -ar 16000 %i.wav

# You can see file information with file, ffmpeg, ffprobe, mediainfo among other utilities:

$ file hjl0bC.wav 
hjl0bC.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, mono 16000 Hz

$ ffmpeg -i hjl0bC.wav
[...]
Stream #0:0: Audio: pcm_s16le ([1][0][0][0] / 0x0001), 16000 Hz, mono, s16, 256 kb/s

probably the most accurate information I've seen in a long time.

How to use this?

Hey Wholesomebruh, these were the steps I took:

Converting one file

1. Open cmd.
2. Used cd to navigate to the folder with the mp3.
3. Run the following code:
   ffmpeg -i "C:\path\songname.mp3" -acodec pcm_s16le -ac 1 -ar 16000 output.wav

This will generate a new .wav file on the current folder.

Converting as batch

1. Open a new text file (notepad).
2. Paste the following code:
   for %%a in ("C:\path\*.mp3") do ffmpeg -i "%%a" -acodec pcm_s16le -ac 1 -ar 16000 "C:\path\%%~na.wav"
3. Save your file as .bat
4. Open cmd and run the file. Use cd to go the folder and the just write the file name and press enter.

@Adorp94 Awesome! Really thanks. It worked flawlessly.
