I would like to know if there are any programs where I can convert WAV.. or FLAC files, into MP3 files?

Answer 1

Did you open synaptic and install 'soundconverter' yet?



If you're using a gnome desktop, then you want soundconverter - but for KDE freaks there's 'soundkonverter'



You could just do it with a script for nautilus (see 'sources' below)



In fact, there are so many different ways of doing this that I can't imagine why you'd ask.



Do you know how to find the synaptic package manager?



you can launch it straight from your 'System Administration' menu in the panel, or you can press ALT F2 to get a launcher and type 'gksu synaptic' (you need to type gksu because it must be graphical super user)



You can open a terminal and type 'sudo aptitude install soundconverter'



If you don't want to type 'sudo aptitude install' then you can edit '.bashrc' and put in 'alias install='sudo aptitude install' and while you're there put in

alias update='sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude upgrade'

## Sudo fixes

alias install='sudo aptitude install'

alias remove='sudo aptitude remove'

alias autoremove='sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get remove && orphand'

alias wget='wget -c'

alias gsyn='gksu synaptic'



If you do that, then just do ALT F2 and type 'gsyn' to get Synaptic. Search 'soundconverter' and that's it.

If you use Ubuntu for a year, you'll have so many ways of doing things you'll be amazed why it was ever difficult.



I'd fully recommend you get up to 9.04 now, it's sooo much better than 8.04 - and if you install from the CD, you can reformat to ext4, which is faster and better...

Open the package management program Synaptic and type in a search. There should be some programs you can install to do this. My Linux uses one called soundKonvert to concert audio files from one type to another including MP3 files. I don't know what Ubuntu calls the program it uses, but most Linux use the same programs in general.



Synaptic is where you install Linux software and programs. You also update and upgrade your Linux version from there.

There is a version for both windows and Linux in the form of a debian file. Also check your Synaptic package manager for avidemux consider upgrading to 9.04

Handbrake isn't area of the sturdy applications. even though handbrake is a super application for incredibly changing DVD into uTube high quality video clips. seek for Audacity in Synaptic (a valid Editior), after set up then google for the thank you to characteristic the mp3 plugin. you notice, mp3 is patented. mp3 isn't freeware. i admire ffmpeg. get carry of additionally from Synaptic. ffmpeg converts very almost any video / audio format as a terminal application. in case you get carry of a video editor referred to as kdenlive, it may additionally contain ffmpeg interior the set up.
