Convert music files to MP3

Fedora 15

what is the best sound converter, to covert wav. and other formats to mp3.

I need a converter that uses a GUI, this person is a new user to Linux and won't/can't use the command line.

Hi,

And the winner it ... soundconverter...

If memory serves...try

Quote:

yum install soundconverter

but, that's ancient knowledge...

There is so many Apps in Fedora repo it is impossible to remember them.

Eh, waddayagonnado? It's one of those "side effects" of Linux: choice!

But, I use soundconverter on a regular base, it's super-easy to use, just drag-n-drop whatever you want to convert and let it rip!
Make sure you've set the prefs first, though...or at least, gloss over them

a search ? maybe

Code:

su -
yum search mp3 
--- then ---
yum install ?????

there is also a Nautilus action to add "convert2Mp3" to the r-click menu
just like convert to mpeg , or avi
