So your problem is that when you download music off of Spotify, the file is ".flac" right? And you want it to be .mp3 right?
If so then just download Ffmpeg
Put all of your music files into 1 folder
Open Ffmpeg. Press right next to "Templates" scroll down and press on "Audio mp3 (Lame)"
Select your music that you want to have in mp3 on the top in "Input File" by going to the folder where all of your files are and then clicking the "*" button on the bottom left.
If you want a good audio quality then change the following from the code below=
>-vn -c:a libmp3lame -ab 192k -ar 44100 -f mp3
to
>-vn -c:a libmp3lame -ab 320k -ar 44100 -f mp3
But keep in mind that if you do that, then the files will be way bigger. So if you don't care that much about quality then don't change it.
Press the green play button on the bottom right.
Wait
All your files will be in the "Ffmpeg" folder.
I've got some video editing apps as well but didn't use for this
Looks like there's a very basic but functional FFmpeg GUI for Android.
I lack an android so can't tell you exactly how to set it up, but by looking at the screenshots it looks like you'll need to add
-r 15
to the section next to the plus symbol that currently says
-vn -c:a aac -ab 128k -ar 44100
Ah okay. You're welcome.
This is the app if you want to give a go.

Here is an app I used before, it may not be able to handle such a large file though.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.sbaud.wavstudio
You may be able to recover some or all of it.. Depends. It may just be missing a vital footer/key frame information for standard players to use it..
Try this app; https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silentlexx.ffmpeggui to convert it. I've used ffmpeg on Linux many times to recover corrupted media files.
maybe try ffmpeg? assuming it works the same as other platform (and i don't see why it wouldn't) it should preserve id3 tags
the description says it has lame so it should be fine
Ffmpeg can convert video files to gifs and vise versa I use this one but there are others

Transcoding video is hard work for a phone. It might take half an hour to convert one that long and your phone will probably get hot. But it should work.
There a hundreds of video editing apps , I've yet to find one with frame by frame accuracy. Text always seems to appear at the nearest 1/4 second. Just browse around and find one with a gui you like.
I rotate videos using this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silentlexx.ffmpeggui
Select input and output locations and use this command:
-c copy -metadata:s:v:0 rotate=90
Default rotation is 90 in most devices(in portrait mode). You can save a template using + button. Some old video players ignore rotation metadata but almost all modern players support it.
If the 'fb' in the file name indicates that this video came from Facebook, it is probably encoded in the VP9 video format. In that case you can simply change the file extension from .MKV to .WebM and see if that works.
WebM is a web-friendly Matroska (MKV) container format. Unlike its 'big brother' MKV it only supports a few types of video and audio.
If it doesn't work, the video type inside this MKV is probably H.264, so you need to change the container to MP4. The best mobile app for that is FFmpeg (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silentlexx.ffmpeggui&hl=en_US&gl=US)
... The UI is somewhat 'geeky', but this program is actually the state-of-the-art of video encoding.
Hey,
It sounds like you're using a video above 720p, which is a pro feature. Try using a smaller video, or transcode the one you have right now.
You can easily make a big video smaller using tools like FFmpeg on the play store, or the AVPress web app.
Hope that helps!
MTS files don't need to be transcoded as they already contain h.264 video and AAC audio - you can instead just copy the streams into a new container losslessly.
Try to find an FFmpeg app that allows you to specify what command is run. This one seems a good candidate.
The command you'd need to adapt is:
ffmpeg -i "input.mts" -c copy "output.mp4"
In the app I linked it looks like it should be as easy as adding the following to a preset:
-c copy
And then make sure the output is configured for .mp4.

Use Copy mode for both the video and he audio track.
Try this video encoder https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silentlexx.ffmpeggui
If that doesn't work, transfer the file to PC and install handbrake, is a free and open source video encoder.
Google removes apps that downloaded from youtube but I just tested something that works.
Install FFmpeg
Go to ytmate, or any video grabber website, paste the video link there (or use an app to get the download link)
Ytmate converts then presents downloads, pick the quality want BUT long press on 'Download' then copy the link.
Open ffmpeg app, press the ">_" symbol.
After -i Delete whats inside the quotes and paste the download link
On the same text box, the last line should be the output file location, just modify the last part to be filename.mp4 or anything else.
After that, you type -ss 00:00:10 -t 00:10:00, where -ss is starting position and -t is time, in hours:minutes:seconds, my example just cuts the first 10 seconds then converts 10 minutes.
After this, press the green play button on the app, wait, a log pops up if all is correct.
Browse for the output file and play.
Notice ffmpeg downloads and converts at the same time, so the waiting time depends on the quality, download speed and video length.
On how to use ffmpeg, there's Google with plenty of results. You can use it to save a gif clip of some funny video you found, convert to mp3 for songs, or like my example, get rid of the long intros.
Sorry this is long and I did try before posting, it works but requires a web browser and manual typing commands, so 2 apps.
You can try installing Firefox and check the extensions page, search for a youtube downloader and maybe ease the process.
PS4 doesn't have issues with the Matroska (MKV) container - only the increasingly video codec H.265 (HEVC) which is found inside both MKV and MP4 files. Check the specs, if you doubt me.
FFmpeg for Android is the state-of-the-art conversion tool:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silentlexx.ffmpeggui&hl=en_US
It might look a bit complicated, but it really can do anything you need. Look at the first screenshot in the Play Store link:
- Just load the source file
- Set an output container (MKV or MP4 doesn't matter)
- Then set the video codec. This has to be H.264 to work on a PS4
- The audio codec can be AC3 or AAC
- Finally click on the "Play" icon to start converting
I was using video to gif about a year ago but itbstrted being weird so I switched to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silentlexx.ffmpeggui
You might also try moving the gif to your downloads folder before uploading
ffmpeg that shit up, it spits out gifs like it's nothing and there's an android version
This ffmpeg for android app supports it
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silentlexx.ffmpeggui
maybe trigger https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silentlexx.ffmpeggui
via a shell ?
You can use a ffmpeg encoder and do
https://imgur.com/a/EACdu5f
-c:v copy -af loudnorm -ar 44100
ffmpeg encoder for Android can do this and much more: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silentlexx.ffmpeggui
This FFmpeg Media Encoder ?
I think this version of FFMPEG supports h.265
