About:
Whatmp3 is a command-line utility designed to automate the creation of BitTorrent files from FLAC audio collections. It scans directories for FLAC files, converts them to MP3 format on-the-fly, and packages the resulting files into a torrent. This streamlines the process of sharing high-quality audio archives in a more space-efficient format.

Key Features:

Automates FLAC to MP3 conversion during torrent creation
Preserves directory structure and metadata in output
Lightweight and scriptable for batch processing
Integrates seamlessly with standard torrent tools

Use Cases:

Sharing large music archives as space-efficient MP3 torrents
Automating batch conversion of FLAC libraries for distribution
Creating torrents for devices with limited storage capacity

Alternatives:

ffmpeg – More versatile media converter but lacks direct torrent generation
mktorrent – Dedicated torrent creator but does not handle audio conversion
