From flac to mp3 in Ubuntu: This worked great, but make sure you have ``lame'' and ``flac''
sudo apt-get install flac
sudo apt-get install lame
Then in the folder with all the .flac files:
for f in *.flac; do flac -cd "$f" | lame -b 320 - "${f%.*}".mp3; done

This allows to transfer .eps file to .pdf keeping the original size of figure: ps2pdf -dEPSCrop fig1.eps fig1a.pdf

Taking -dEPSFitPage instead of -dEPSCrop can be also useful (if you want just to avoid cutting off some parts of figures but keeping the full page size for .pdf).

Currently Matlab on my Ubuntu is working only from the command line, using root login, and starting from the directory `/usr/local/MATLAB/R2013a/bin' with command `./matlab'.

Alternatively, MATLAB can be started from any directory by executing `sudo matlab'
