reflac: Enable maximum compression (very slow).
$ reflac --best ${path-to-directory}
try on your machine
The command reflac --best ${path-to-directory} is used to reduce the size of audio files in the specified directory by applying the FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) compression. Let's break down the command:
- reflac: This is the name of the command or program that you are executing.
- --best: This is an option or flag that you are passing to the reflac command. It indicates that you want to use the best compression level available, which may take longer but produce smaller file sizes.
- ${path-to-directory}: This is a placeholder for the actual path to the directory containing the audio files. You need to replace it with the specific path on your system.
By running this command, the reflac program will search for all audio files in the specified directory and apply the FLAC compression algorithm with the best compression settings, resulting in smaller file sizes with no loss in audio quality.
