This script will convert any MP3, WAV or FLAC files to Mono 8kHz PCM WAV files suitable for Asterisk. Converted files will be placed in a subdirectory named converted.

1. Ensure FFmpeg is installed on your system.
2. Open your terminal, then navigate to the directory containing the audio files to be converted.
3. Copy and paste the appropriate script for your OS into your terminal.

Windows (PowerShell)

$output = "converted"
New-Item -Path $output -ItemType Directory -Force
Get-ChildItem | where {$_.extension -in ".mp3",".wav",".flac"} | ForEach-Object {
   $name = "$output/$($_.BaseName).wav"
   & ffmpeg -i $_.Name -ar 8000 -ac 1 -acodec pcm_s16le -f wav $name
}
