   CoPilot:   
      
   $ Give a command line invocation of FFMPEG to convert a stereo MP3   into a   
   monophonic MP3   
      
   ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -c:a libmp3lame -q:a 2 -ac 1 output.mp3   
      
   Explanation:   
      
   -i input.mp3: Specifies the input stereo MP3 file.   
   -c:a libmp3lame: Sets the audio codec to libmp3lame for the output.   
   -q:a 2: Controls the audio quality (2 is a reasonable value).   
   -ac 1: Converts the audio to mono (single channel).   
   output.mp3: Specifies the output monophonic MP3 file.

       Both channels of the stereo stream will be downmixed into the stream"
