I found the default setting for libmp3lame0 is 160kbps and does not change with Gnome Sound Converter but can be changed when using WinFF or FFMulticonverter. I'm not sure why GSC encodes at 160 kbps them recodes at a higher bitrate.

After doing a little digging, I also found two more called WinFF and soundKonverter but...I don't know if WinFF uses LAME and soundKonverter is a KDE application (although I don't think it matters) and might be a little more than I need. WinFF uses the lame encoder as does ffmpeg for encoding mp3s.

I would recommend FFmultiConverter.

I do not recommend Gnome Sound Converter.

all files(FLAC) are encoded to 160 kbps instead of whatever bitrate (320,256,192) I set in the gui. Did you mean that when you convert FLAC files to MP3, the MP3 bitrate is incorrect ? Yes! Instead of converting the FLAC files to 320 kbps (or 256 kbps or 192 kbps) it creates a 320kbps mp3 but with ...

Just noticed something strange while using Gnome Sound Converter 1.5.4 on my system (Mint 13 MATE) all files(FLAC) are encoded to 160 kbps instead of whatever bitrate (320,256,192) I set in the gui. When using Audacity to convert files, the files are encoded at the correct bitrate. Only with the set...

Adblock Plus and Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon on Firefox works well for what it was originally designed for but sneaky advertisers are finding ways to get around Adblock and constantly annoy you with infuriating screen ads. Does anyone know how to block those screen ads? If we don't find a way to stop...

Audacity is as good as it gets. I don't seee why anyone wouldn't want to use it. I Because it has an awkward GUI and crashes without warning. Adobe Audition (v1.5) under wine is more reliable, easier to use, starts a lot faster and, surprisingly, uses fewer resources. It does crash frequently but A...

I run Mint 13 and qtractor and liblilv0-0 are in the repos there's no need to download a deb file. Did you check the repositories first before downloading?

Audacity is as good as it gets. I don't seee why anyone wouldn't want to use it. I used several editors on Linux through the years. For awhile I used wavepad through wine but they changed from freeware to shareware so I tried Jokosher and Traverso for a time. I didn't like either. Audacity pretty mu...

Installed mediagui and it does what says on the tin but I still prefer the old way of using the right click>properties.

The update notification in the lower right corner of my screen (I am using Cinnamon) showed that I needed to install updates. So I tried using terminal and entered sudo apt-get update. It ran, so far so good. But afterwards, the update notification still showed that I needed to install updates. Doe...

Charging starts upon connecting AC power, but only if the remaining capacity is below the value of START_CHARGE_TRESH (lower threshold). Charging stops when reaching the STOP_CHARGE_TRESH (upper threshold) value. If, however when you connect the AC adapter, charge is above the lower threshold, then...
