A .wav to .mp3 converter for KDE for Fedora 11

resetreset · 10-29-2009, 11:13 AM

Hi I want to either record sounds to MP3 or use the sound recorder with KDE to record .WAV and then convert to MP3 using a converter.

It must be .rpm or something I can install with a quick yum command.

Thx.

You can use

Code:

ffmpeg -i test.wav test.mp3

Sorry I forgot to mention repo, I'd really like a drag and drop one - is there one?

also, doesn't look like i have ffmpeg, and i installed ALL of fedora 11 ...

Perhaps
audioconverter or audacity

As you are using KDE do you have K3b installed?.
If so you can use K3b to rip and encode wav files to mp3,you will also need Lame.

the name "audioconverter" sounds like what i'm looking for - where do i get it?

i have brasero, i dont want to install k3b

you need to add rpmfusion to your repos first and install lot of 'restricted stuff' incl mp3 support.

after that drag and drop for conversion should be easy.

Audacity. You have to install lame if you haven't already.
