On win10 with 32gb of ram, before I ran winutil idle RAM was at 50%. Now it is about 10-15%

Used Chatgpt to write this script to convert my roboquest wav files to flac and while preseving the meta data

I fed these two posts into the chat

It gave me this script that I could run in the cli after I prompted it to fix the filename and place the contents in a a folder called flac_files

mkdir -p flac_files; for f in *.wav; set base_name (basename "$f" .wav); ffmpeg -i "$f" -c:a flac -sample_fmt s32 -map_metadata 0 "flac_files/$base_name.flac"; end

here it is as a bash script

#!/bin/bash

# Create a directory for the converted files
mkdir -p flac_files

# Loop through all .wav files in the current directory
for f in *.wav; do
  # Extract the base name without the extension
  base_name=$(basename "$f" .wav)
  
  # Convert the file to .flac with metadata preserved
  ffmpeg -i "$f" -c:a flac -sample_fmt s32 -map_metadata 0 "flac_files/${base_name}.flac"
done

echo "Conversion completed! Check the 'flac_files' directory."
