To install ffmpeg on Fedora: sudo dnf install. To install ffmpeg on Ubuntu, Debian, and Linux Mint: sudo apt install ffmpeg. Use the appropriate command below to install it on your own computer. For homemade CD and DVD discs, I also recommend installing "udftools" from the "Synaptic Package Manager (SPM)" with its recommended and suggested packages.įYI: Because some video and or audio files are created on other computer operating systems like Mac or MS Windows with non-common formats, installing as many of the audio and video codecs (packages) as you can find may also help with playing or processing certain video and or audio files. The software is available on all major Linux distros and can be easily installed using your system’s package manager. It is a graphical application that runs on any Linux kernel. Just add and change the export file type and convert. It reads sound files in any format supported by GStreamer and outputs them in Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, or WAV format, or MP3 format if you have the GStreamer LAME plugin. SoundConverter is an open source, free, fast and multi-threaded audio file conversion utility that features support for popular file formats, as well as powerful automated renaming functionality. SoundConverter is a simple sound converter application for the GNOME environment.
With either of these applications, I always recommend installing them from the "Synaptic Package Manager (SPM)" or at least searching for them in the "Synaptic Package Manager (SPM)" and right-clicking them and installing all recommended and suggested packages and anything else that may help. A very popular and powerful utility that converts audio files from one format to another. I still prefer "sound Konverter" (which can convert audio files, rip cd's, extract audio from video files, etc.) over "soundconverter" although both work very well. It can process huge number of files in record time.
It can process any audio or video file supported by GStreamer, also including the movie files like MOV and MP4, marginal M4A, moreover ubiquitous MP3. However, I use SoundConverter as a Flatpak. On Elementary, Mint, and other Debian-based distributions: sudo apt install soundconverter. On Fedora, Mageia, and similar distributions: sudo dnf install soundconverter. Thank you for sharing this with everyone. Sound Converter is an audio converter for Linux. SoundConverter is available on most Linux distributions from your package manager.
