SoundKonverter is a Qt-based front end to various audio converters that allows you to fine-tune the resulting file in various ways. Your can select files in three clicks, and all you have to do afterwards is wait for the process to finish. You can set the application to make a folder based on an artist’s name and insert subfolders using the artist’s album names that contain the actual songs. Optionally, from the Preferences window, you can specify how the resulting files will be named and where will they reside. Just specify a folder or an individual file using drag-and-drop or the buttons from the UI and you can convert it to MP3, Ogg, FLAC, or WAV format, using bitrates ranging from 64 to 256Kbps in the case of the first two filetypes. SoundConverter is another lightweight tool that offers a simple but effective GUI to convert audio files. If you want to keep it simple, use this elegant script. It needs MPlayer to decode WMA files, musepack-tools to manipulate MPC audio files, and flac and others in order to convert files to and from Ogg, MP3, FLAC, ACC, WAV, APE, and WMA formats. You have four audio quality choices when converting to MP3: medium (160Kbps), standard (220Kbps), extreme (264Kbps), and insane (320Kbps).Īudio-convert makes use of several CLI tools to do its job.

In the latter case, the script inserts the band name and album title for all the tracks after you enter them once.

You then specify whether you want to pass the existing metadata tags to the newly created file or would rather input them manually. When you type audio-convert filename, you are presented with a GUI message asking you to choose the output type for the resulting file. It makes use of Zenity to display GUI messages and windows, but does the rest of its work from the command line. One of the simplest and most elegant ways to convert audio files is by using the audio-convert script. How do you change from one format to another when you need to? Here are some of the best audio conversion tools available in Linux. Most portable audio players can play music encoded in the MP3 audio format, but some consumers also have music in Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, MPC, or even WMA files.
