Automator > Convert Audio File to Mp3 > need kbps higher than 160kbps

[raoullio]

Hi Everyone,



I have set up automator in the following way:

1: Opened Automator

2: File > New > App

3: Chose 'Music' in Library list and chose 'Import Audio Files'

4: Chose 'Mp3 Encoder'

5: From Library List I chose 'Files and Folders' and selected 'Import Audio Files' in the list.

6: Saved as an App to Desktop.



When I drag and drop an audio file to the saved App on the desktop the audio file automaticalluy converts to mp3 160kbps.

I need to know how I can choose the kbps bitrate; I wanna be able to convert audio files to a bitrate higher than 320kbps.



I am willing to install an extra app if that is needed to make it work.

Can someone please explain the steps in Dummy language how to set it up?



I really prefer to use automator for mp3 conversion because I can drag and drop, the conversion goes really quick this way without having to open a program first.



I hope you can help me with this.

Thanks you very much.

The Automator acton "Import Audio Files" doesn't have that option.
You could use ffmpeg in Automator to perform the conversion with more options.
