Tutorial Objectives: Install SoundConverter 2.1.1 on Ubuntu 13.04, 12.10, 12.04 Enjoy To get started, add the GetDeb repository. It can also extract the audio from videos. Thanks to its multithreaded design, it will use as many cores as possible to speed up the conversion. If you use some other tool, do mention that in the comments and I may cover it here on It’s FOSS. SoundConverter aims to be simple to use, and very fast. Those who prefer using the command line can also install it by entering the following command in a Terminal.

You may use full-fledged and a lot better audio editing tool like Audacity but that may be complicated to use for smaller tasks like converting audio file formats.

Speaking of metadata, have you heard of MusicBrainz Picard? This tool helps you automatically updates the metadata of your local music files. For that to happen, you should have proper metadata on the original file. By default, it will just change the suffix but you can also choose to name it based on track number, title, artist etc. You can also change the output file name. I don’t think you should use that option. There is also an option of automatically deleting the original file after conversion. If you use Ubuntu 11.04/10.10 or 10.04 you can install Sound Converter by entering the below command in your Terminal. You can also choose if you want to keep the converted files in the same folder as the original or not. You can change the default output format, bitrate, quality etc. Please let me know any ubuntu command lint tools available to convert the audio formats AAC, ALAC, APE, WMA and PKF to MP3 format. You’ll see plenty of options to change here. To change the default output settings, click on the Preferences icon visible on the interface. Default output settings can be changed in Preferences
