Sound Converter Causes System to Crash

I recently bought a Blackberry 9650 and an 8gb media card. I want to add music to my media card so I can listen to music on the train without having to bring my POS mp3 player. The problem is that alot of my music is in flac format. When I used to run Ubuntu, I always used Sound Converter, which worked great without out problems. For some reason, Sound Converter refuses to cooperate in Arch.

I have noticed the problem is more common when I batch convert, however, certain albums ALWAYS trigger a crash. This crash doesn't just cause Sound Converter to crash, but the entire system goes down. It's frustrating that such a simple task is causing such a large problem. It's possible that there is a problem with the backend, because I have had no luck converting with ffmpeg either. Ffmpeg doesn't convert my music, but rather corrupts all the .flac files involved (thank god for backups).

So, I don't really know where to start on this one. I'm sure there is a log that I could look though that would explain the cause of this problem, but I'm still a bit of an Arch Linux noob. Let me know any information that you need to diagnose the problem and I'll post it ASAP.

Thanks!
