soundKonverter is a godsend!

I had some flac files that I needed to convert to mp3, just in case you are wondering I own the album, twice, to play on my iPod. CURSE YOU APPLE! Searching the webs, the best solution I found was to download some shell script to do the trick. I launched Synaptic Package Manager to download needed packages and as I were doing just that, noticed on the search results soundKonverter described as frontend to various audio converters, I downloaded it any my God it works so well! Thanks to all who worked on bringing such an integrated solution.


Now this got me thinking why didn't anyone mention this excellent and easy to use solution on the various forums and blogs I visited searching for a solution? All they talk about is shellscripts to do the trick. I personally have no problems with shellscripts, I write my own sometimes, but I remember the looks on my younger brother when I tried to explain to him how to use a shellscript to convert audio files.
If you need to convert audio files on GNU/Linux easily, there is a good chance soundKonverter will more than satisfy you!
