gollark: Actually, you should use (praise be!) ffmpeg.

gollark: I just have a script which reads metadata from my music library and converts it to DFPWM as a multitrack tape image.

gollark: It is a shame they didn't do Opus, somewhat. Although DFPWM is simple enough to implement in CC if necessary.

gollark: No.

gollark: If anyone is interested I could run `*.kst.osmarks.net` or something.
