# This script will:
# 1. loop through all SUBDIRECTORIES in the CURRENT DIRECTORY 
# 2. loop through all the files
# 3. check if their extensions match {formats}
# 4. convert each file to 320kbs mp3 with ffmpeg OVERWRITING if the file already exists 
# 5. remove the original file
# while logging stuff to ./converted.txt
