Darkelve Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 I thought it would be useful to post this: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=12608 audiokonverter is a small utility to easily convert from OGG, MP3, AAC, M4A, FLAC, WMA, RealAudio, Musepack, Wavpack, WAV and movies to MP3, OGG, M4A, WAV and FLAC in Konqueror by right-clicking on them. It needs oggenc, oggdec, faac, faad, flac, mplayer and lame to work. id3lib is optional for full functionality. Also optional are vorbis-tools and metaflac for handling other metadata. This has been said before, but I will say it again: By converting a lossy file (e.g. mp3) into another lossy file (e.g. mp3), the file will LOOSE quality So one possible approach to counter this, is for example: - use FLAC when ripping files from a CD for storage on hard disk. FLAC is a compressed, but LOSLESS format, meaning that you will always have the best quality if you start FROM a FLAC file - convert the FLAC files to mp3 or ogg files to take with you on your portable mp3/media player Linux can recognize most mp3 players as '(USB) mass storage' devices. Functionality for iPods is provided in the music programs Banshee and Amarok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
