Howdy y'all!

I'm curious about everyone's favorite/most used CLI tool! Please include your favorite as well as your use case if you don't mind. Mine is rsync, which I use to keep my home music storage synced with my music player's SD card.

Runner up is ranger to navigate files. I mainly use this to quickly visually navigate mounted drives that I did not organize myself.

Hope to hear from you all soon, thanks!

I'm familiar with the flac format, but not so much with the program. What do you use it for?

I've never heard of ffmpeg, but a quick glance at the man page says it can rip from data streams with sounds awesome! What's your main use case if you don't mind sharing?

Thanks, btw

    I use flac to encode wav/aiff files to flac and to read flac fingerprints (md5) from flac files. I mainly use ffmpeg for ripping subtitles from mp4 files, but it's a pretty versatile tool.
