1. About soundKonverter 0.3.8
=============================
- Released by Daniel Faust (hessijames@gmail.com) under the terms of the GPL v2 -
soundKonverter is frontend to various audio converters.
The key features are:
- Audio conversion
- Replay Gain calculation
- CD ripping
It is extendable by plugins and supports many backends:
En-/decoding: oggenc/oggdec, lame, gogo, faac/faad, mppenc/mppdec, flac, mac, mplayer, ffmpeg, shorten, ttaenc, bonk, ofr, ofs, wavpack, lac, lpac, speexenc/speexdec, timidity
Replay Gain: vorbisgain, mp3gain, aacgain, replaygain (MusePack), metaflac, wvgain
CD ripping: kio_audiocd, cdda2wav, cdparanoia
This way you can convert between various audio formats:
Decoding: ogg, mp3, mp2, m4a/mp4, aac, 3gp, mpc/mp+, flac, ape, wma, asf/asx, ra, rv, rm, avi, mpeg, wmv, qt/mov, flv, ac3, au/snd, shn, tta, bonk, ofr, ofs, wv, la, pac, spx, mid, mod/s3m/stm/ult/uni/xm/m15/mtm/669/it, wav
Encoing: ogg, mp3, mp2, m4a, aac, mpc, flac, ape, ra, ac3, au, shn, tta, bonk, ofr, ofs, wv, la, pac, spx, wav
soundKonverter supports reading and writing tags for many formats, so the tags are preserved when converting files.
It comes with an Amarok script that allows you to easily transcode files when transfering to your media device.
And it is avalable in English, German, French, Spanish, Russian, Polish and Brazilian Portuguese.

3. Compile soundKonverter
=========================
In order to compile soundKonverter, you need:
- taglib-devel 1.4.0 (libtaglib-devel on mandriva)
- cdparanoia (libcdda-devel on mandriva, cdparanoia-devel on fedora)
On some operating systems, the cdda check (cdparanoia) in ./configure may fail.
This is because sometimes the header files are at another location (eg. /usr/include/cdda instead of /usr/include on ark linux).
In this case remove the cdparanoia check from the configure.in.in file.
4. Known bugs
=============
- The options tabs get out of sync in some very rare cases
- taglib check in ./configure may fail
Backends that's output cant't be read:
- The progress of some backends can't be read properly
A big change is that soundKonverter now uses mime types.
If you find problems, please tell me about it.
Thanks to all Open Source programmers for their apps that I used to get some code.
Especially Kaffeine and Amarok.
Have a lot of fun.
