MPEG-4 Audio Layer FTW

Wtf, You pirate 4 gigabytes of music and then when you open the folder that contains said music you realize in ABSOLUTE horror that folder contains 4 gigabytes OF USELESS MPEG-4 Audio Layer files. I swear on VIPPERS grave that by the end of this year I will have no hair left.

So good computer folk, I ask of you the task of telling me a quick and easy command line reencoder that supports batch conversion.

Why must people use whatever retarded format Linux nerds want them to? Fucking bullshit. Use AIFF. MP3 with a great encoder like LAME is excused for compatibility. But use anything else and lose.
