Prana Cuts Poly Bag Use by … Cutting Poly Bag Use

This article on SportsOneSource triggered a memory. Years ago I was in Eastern Mountain Sports and it hit me that every piece of apparel and softgoods on the floor of every store came in its own bag. I suggested this as a source of raw material to the folks at TC. Since these bags have no branding, they have no place in the TC system. The real solution to the problem is actually pretty simple, and it’s encouraging to see Prana addressing the source of the problem.

watch the case on your extensions if you’re having any difficulty.

Here’s a script for doing the conversion on a directory full of m4a files. You need to put the script inside the directory. Modify the bitrate from 192 if you want it higher.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

#convert m4a to mp3

FILES=”*.m4a”

for F in $FILES

do
newname=`basename “$F” .m4a`
echo $newname
ffmpeg -i “$F” -acodec libmp3lame -ac 2 -ab 192k -ar 44100 “$newname.mp3”

done

Than do this to make it executable: chmod 755 my_script
