  • Use find and maybe xargs. Note: Unix does not have file-name-extensions. It is just a naming convention. (This is also true of MS windows, since Windows-95. But the file-explorer still uses them. ) Commented Aug 28, 2022 at 14:34
  • Paths of converted files in the new directory should be the same as in the original Music directory? For example, an original file path Music/one/two/song.flac should be repeated in New_Music, like New_Music/one/two/song.m4a? Or New_Music should have just heap of files?
