audiokonverter

Frabato · 2010-09-03 05:18:49

Hi All,

I need to convert some flac files to m4a format so I installed audiokonverter. I don't know how to start the program. Nothing shows up in the menu after running menumaker and typing "audiokonverter" in the command line gives this:

[a@Amedia ~]$ audiokonverter
bash: audiokonverter: command not found
[a@Amedia ~]$

yaourt says that the program is installed.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

How about

audioconvert4

?

karol is correct.

Frabato, here is a little trick you might want to remember. If you installed a package but not sure what the executable name is,

pacman -Ql audiokonverter 
audiokonverter /usr/
audiokonverter /usr/bin/
audiokonverter /usr/bin/anytowav4
audiokonverter /usr/bin/audioconvert4
audiokonverter /usr/bin/movie2sound4
audiokonverter /usr/bin/oggdrop-lx
audiokonverter /usr/share/
audiokonverter /usr/share/kde4/
audiokonverter /usr/share/kde4/services/
audiokonverter /usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/
audiokonverter /usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/audioconvert4.desktop
audiokonverter /usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/audiofrommovie4.desktop
audiokonverter /usr/share/mimelnk/
audiokonverter /usr/share/mimelnk/audio/
audiokonverter /usr/share/mimelnk/audio/x-flv.desktop
audiokonverter /usr/share/mimelnk/audio/x-wavpack.desktop

pacman -Ql audiokonverter | grep /bin

is a good start.

Frabato · 2010-09-03 07:54:09

Thanks for the fast replies. That opened the program but now I get:

[a@Amedia ~]$ audioconvert4
/usr/bin/audioconvert4: line 743: audioconvert: command not found
[a@Amedia ~]$

I can't find a package called audioconvert and I didn't see any optional dependencies when installing.

"yaourt --provides audioconvert" returned nothing.

Try to use it anyway, maybe it's just a scary but harmless error.

Frabato · 2010-09-03 14:46:42

after selecting a file and clicking on "open" the program just crashes with this message on the command line:

/usr/bin/audioconvert4: line 743: audioconvert: command not found

does anyone know how to fix this or is there another program that will convert flac to m4a?

Thanks

karol · 2010-09-03 15:04:58

The guy from the link I posted suggested running from the console:

audioconvert4 myfile.flac

You have to convert to AAC, don't you? Use these two scripts:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p= … stcount=12
It use a Nero's version of AAC (one of the best AAC encoder). Binaries are available at nero official site.

Do you mean http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O … _Search=Go or is it something different?

Yes, it's the same thing. I downloaded it at nero site and didn't look at AUR.

Thanks Everyone,

I didn't know about neroaacenc, so I just used flac to convert to wave and then neroaacenc to convert to .m4a.

behemothy · 2010-09-03 17:54:56

so I just used flac to convert to wave and then neroaacenc to convert to .m4a.

In this way tags in the flac files are lost .

Frabato · 2010-09-03 18:48:50

Yes, you're right. I didn't need the tags in this case but if someone does need them the script is the way to go.

Thanks again for all the help on this.
