I need an audio-converter to convert to & from mp3, ogg, flac wav (as a minimum). More formats like ape would be helpful.

My searches results in

soundconverter: needs the Gnome-libraries
soundkonverter: needs the KDE-libraries
gnormalize: needs GTK2-perl

Important: Because I like to stay my Antix fast & light, which one from these choices should I use?

Or maybe another tool? Which one?

Any advice will be helpful, thanx.

I would use gnormalize. There is no deb for it (or at least I couldn't find one)

I used the tar from here:

========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=736"
linktext was:"http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=736"
====================================
" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false

and did the for .deb users.

Just keep hitting y

If you want to play flac and ape files, you might be better off installing audacious and its plugins.
Unfortunately xmms is no longer developed and so it is becoming extremely difficult to install the necessary plugins for it and keep antiX easy to upgrade without breaking.
antiX-M8 will almost certainly be the last antiX release with xmms. We'll switch to audacious in the (near) future.

anti, thank you for the hint, but this don't really hits me. Usually I convert FLACs und APEs to ogg or mp3 with 320 kbps at once. This quality is much better, than my ears can hear __{{emoticon}}__


...and my favorite player is moc, really. I have about 1 terabyte music files __{{emoticon}}__ , only complete albums and usually I like to hear only complete albums also.
