m4a->mp3 help

[Juan Kawada]

ok so I was thinking about trying something like
find ~/Music -iname "*.m4a" -exec lame -V0 -h -b 160 --vbr-new input.m4a
output.mp3

but that requires me to specify the input and output name. I wouldn't know
how to do it another way, and I think it would be the same using audio
convert.
so i'll just add the albums into soundKonverter.
The main problem was finding the 10-20 albums that were in m4a out of the
whole collection, and your find script has helped with that.

so thanks for the help!
