Converting Voice Memos to .mp3 on iOS/iPadOS with ffmpeg in a-Shell

I'm embarrassed to admit how many different methods of converting audio files to .mp3 I used on iOS before realizing… that I could just use ffmpeg in a Shell. It's even pre-packaged with it now!

If you're new to ffmpeg, I'm the last person to introduce you, but here are the two commands I used:

**VBR**

ffmpeg -i input.m4a -c:a libmp3lame -q:a 8 output.mp3

**Constant, 192 kbps.**

ffmpeg -i input.m4a -c:a libmp3lame -b:a 192k output.mp3
