I downloaded a "Linux ISO" which came as a series of *.opus files. My iPhone doesn't recognize them, so I was wondering if you guys might recommend a program to convert them to *.mp3 files.

Ideally a mac or linux based program with a gui. Any suggestions?

Here's a version that will do a batch (in the current folder/directory)

for i in *.opus; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -c:a libmp3lame -q:a 0 -map_metadata 0 "${i%.*}.mp3"; done

Tip: You can add an & just before the last ; to run these conversions concurrently. For more sophisticated control on the concurrency, I'd use parallel.
