using ffmpeg to extract audio from video files

ffmpeg

Converting Audio into Different Formats / Sample Rates

Minimal example: transcode from MP3 to WMA:
ffmpeg -i input.mp3 output.wma

You can get the list of supported formats with:
ffmpeg -formats

Convert WAV to MP3, mix down to mono (use 1 audio channel), set bit rate to 64 kbps and sample rate to 22050 Hz:

# nix-env -p /nix/var/nix/profiles/system --delete-generations old
# nix-collect-garbage -d
# nix-env -p /nix/var/nix/profiles/system --list-generations
## Remove entries from /boot/loader/entries:
# sudo bash -c "cd /boot/loader/entries; ls | grep -v <current-generation-name> | xargs rm"
