Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, SoundConverter is a simple and fast tool for converting audio files. It has support for all the files supported by GStreamer and converts them to Ogg, WAV, FLAC or MP3. The latest version available is SoundConverter 2.1.2.
Note: SoundConverter is not the same software as SoundKonverter, so do not make confusions between them.
