mp3 converter


Is there a mp3 to wav converter for linux? I wish to convert mp3's to a cd that can be played in a cd player.

Tried using K3b but it says mp3"s are unsupported.

Lame will decode mp3 to wav:

use lame --decode <infile> <outfile>

But I'm surprised at k3b: I use k3b 0.12.17 on debian, and can drag mp3s to the audio CD creation list without problem.

Hope this helps.

In order to have k3b burn mp3 files to a regular audio cd, one needs to have a "plugin" in the program that does the conversion. For copyright/law/etc. reasons not every distribution comes with this plugin preinstalled. For Fedora Core distributions (at least) there exists an rpm, or actually several for several K3b versions; one needs to install this rpm (suitable version of it) and restart K3b to make it able to burn mp3 files. For Debian such a plugin should exist too, but not every distribution has it as a precompiled binary package; in that case one needs to obtain the source code of K3b and recompile it from source, compiling the "plugin" along with it, I think.

Try and search google for "k3b mp3 plugin" (or "addon" or something) plus your distribution.
