Yes, I use bash and I want to take the files in /path/a/somefile.flac, run
them though ffmpeg and put the output files in /path/b/somefile.m4a.
How would what you're suggesting work with what I already have?:

find  music/flac/ -iname *.flac -print0 | xargs -0 -I source ffmpeg -i
> source -acodec alac -map_meta_data 0:0,s0 "`basename "source" .flac`.m4a"
