convert to mp3 instead of GSM

[viciflash]

i noticed that all recordings are saved in WAV format and converte to and move to GSM dir.

is this the crontab entry that converts to GSM?

1,4,7,10,13,16,19,22,25,28,31,34,37,40,43,46,49,52,55,58 * * * * /usr/share/astguiclient/AST_CRON_audio_2_compress.pl --GSM

if i change it to "--MP3" will this make it MP3 and store it in MP3 dir.?

1,4,7,10,13,16,19,22,25,28,31,34,37,40,43,46,49,52,55,58 * * * * /usr/share/astguiclient/AST_CRON_audio_2_compress.pl --MP3

chicken.

Give it a shot. You can also (if you are nervous about such things) execute the file manually with --help as a switch to find the basic commands.

Code: Select all

perl /usr/share/astguiclient/AST_CRON_audio_2_compress.pl --help

or with --debugX to SEE what is happening

Code: Select all

perl /usr/share/astguiclient/AST_CRON_audio_2_compress.pl --MP3 --debugX

Test it out, nano the file to see the internal notes:

Code: Select all

nano /usr/share/astguiclient/AST_CRON_audio_2_compress.pl

It's linux, experiment and read

sorry i dont know how to run perl script. i just learned it today after reading your post...

#perl /usr/share/astguiclient/AST_CRON_audio_2_compress.pl --help

it requires 'perl' prior the script...

that's why i posted it with the "chicken" comment. i didn't really believe you were .

if noone tells you how to do this stuff ... it can be difficult to learn. linux is NOT simple, but it is cool. i was lucky, i started in DOS2.0 ... in a universe far away.
