Makefile to pre-process downloaded podcasts
I recently updated my podcast pre-processing script to Python 3.6 & the multiprocessing.Pool module and then a few days later realized the whole thing would be much better as a simple Makefile
The goal is to:
- reduce filesize of podcasts (192kbit/s is overkill for spoken word!)
- normalize the volume and convert to mono (easier to listen to when riding/running and it's windy)
- speed up playback (people talk too slow!)
- strip tags (so my dinky mp3 player doesn't put the podcasts into different "folders")
