6.3. Share your work
 | To know how to build Lame, see Section 3.15. |
Now that we have our song in WAV format, we will convert it in OGG and MP3 format to share it more easily.
oggenc and lame allow us to specify some extra attributs for our songs, like its title or its genre (see manpages). Usually I only specify title and genre.
To obtain a list of genres, pass the --genre-list argument to Lame. It will output the following:

A basic OGG encoding could be done with:
$ oggenc -a"Emmanuel Saracco" -t"Blackbird" -G"Fusion" -d2005-08-23 blackbird.wav
Where -a is for author name, -t for title, -G for genre, and -d for entire date.
A basic MP3 encoding could be done with:
$ lame -s 48 --ta "Emmanuel Saracco" --tt "Blackbird" --tg"Fusion" --ty "2005" blackbird.wav blackbird.mp3
Where --ta is for author name, --tt for title, --tg for genre, and --ty for year.
| If you need to convert a old MP3 file to OGG, you can use ecasound like the following:
$ ecasound -i blackbird.mp3 -o blackbird.ogg
