Audio Format Converter, an Amarok script, enables users to convert the audio format of tracks in their playlist.
Audio Format Converter is a useful script for Amarok that enables you to convert the audio format of tracks in your playlist. The script is designed to take a snapshot of your current playlist and allows you to continue using Amarok normally while the conversion is in progress. This ensures minimal disruption to your music listening experience.
The software supports various file formats for both input and output, including .flac, .ogg, .mp3, .mpc, .m4a, and .wav. Additionally, it supports .wma and .ra for input, but it's important to note that the required packages must be installed for these to work. Users should also be aware that when using .wma and .ra files, the software may not be able to handle metatags effectively.
One of the standout features of Audio Format Converter is that it is compatible with various versions of Amarok. While it has only been tested on Amarok 1.2.4, it should also work on any Amarok version that is equal to or above 1.2.
Another key benefit of this software is that it does not delete your original files. The software gives you a warning before any overwriting of files occurs. If the output file will overwrite an existing file, a dialog box will ask you whether you want to proceed with the overwrite or skip the track. The software also has the ability to handle files that are converted to the format they are already in.
One thing to note is that depending on the number of tracks and the speed of your computer, the conversion process may take some time to complete. However, with each track being processed, a passive popup will appear letting you know which track is currently being worked on. If you need to stop the conversion process at any time, you can simply click 'stop' in the Amarok script GUI.
To use Audio Format Converter, users will need to have the following packages installed: lame, flac, oggenc, oggdec, mppenc, mppdec, mplayer, faad, and faac. Installing these packages will ensure seamless use of the software.
In summary, Audio Format Converter is a useful tool for Amarok users who want to convert their audio format quickly and easily. With its easy-to-use functionality and compatibility with various Amarok versions, it's a must-have for music enthusiasts who appreciate flexibility and convenience.
