[solved] matroska stream to mp3?

There are a few songs in my music library that are matroska stream (mka) (were put as "mp3" extension god knows why), how can I convert it to mp3? or make xmms2 integrate it to the media library

Are they mp3 streams in mka containers? If so it's really simple with FFmpeg:

ffmpeg -i <input.mka> -acodec copy <output.mp3>

They are flac (after running mkvinfo)

Well, I got it worked out, just transferred all the songs from the container to flac for those interested
$ pacman -S mkvtoolnix

$ mkvextract tracks INPUTFILE --no-ogg 1:OUTPUTFILE.flac

ffmpeg works too

thanks skottish
