I want to convert my entire music library (in the current folder, I'd like to convert the subfolders too) to Opus using FFmpeg. The converted files should go to a folder in ~/Desktop/Opus and keep their hierarchy. I wrote the following command:
find . -name "*.mp3" -exec ffmpeg -i "./" "~/Desktop/Opus/.opus" ;
The problem is that it doesn't work. It seems to have problems parsing the embedded FFmpeg command, as it shows errors like this one for every file:

find [...] -exec will use the (relative) path to the found files. If you want to use -exec with the assumption that the found file is in the current directory, you want to instead use -execdir.

If it uses the relative path, it kinda makes the assumption that the found file is in the current directory, no? It didn't seem to change anything to the output. Any other ideas?
