Convert mp3 to swf on Linux

I had an mp3 file that I wanted to convert to an SWF Flash file so that I could share a link to it in a project I was working on. Here’s how I did it:

First, install ffmpeg and swftools
$ sudo apt-get install ffmpeg swftools

Convert the mp3 file to wav format
$ ffmpeg -i in.mp3 out.wav

Convert the wav file to an SWF Flash file
$ wav2swf -o filename.swf out.wav -s 44100 -l 100 -d
