NAME
soundconverter - convert sound files to other formats
SYNOPSIS
soundconverter [options] [file...]
DESCRIPTION
soundconverter
is a simple tool for converting sound files to other formats.
It can work from the command line, but is really meant for interactive
use in the GNOME environment.
OPTIONS
- -h, --help
-
Print out a usage summary.
- -b, --batch
-
Convert in batch mode, from command line, without a graphical user interface.
You can use this from, say, shell scripts.
- -m, --mime-type arg
-
Set the output MIME type for batch mode.
The default is audio/x-vorbis.
Note that you probably want to set the output suffix as well.
You can also use shortcuts: aac, flac, mp3, vorbis, wav.
- -q, --quiet
-
Be quiet.
Don't write normal output, only errors.
- -d, --debug
-
Print additional debug information.
- -s, --suffix arg
-
Set the output filename suffix for batch mode.
The default is .ogg.
Note that the suffix does not affect the output MIME type.
- -t, --tags
-
Show tags for input files instead of converting them.
This indicates command line batch mode and disables the
graphical user interface.
- -j, --jobs=
-
Force number of concurrent conversions.
Default is one per present CPU.
