Re: audio format converter

If they're .WAV files, then I'd convert them to Ogg Vorbis.  If they're FLAC files, then it depends on how much space you have/need.  Given that FLAC is lossless (like WAV), an Ogg Vorbis conversion will give you superlative quality.

I just thought of a way to convert the lossy-formatted ones (e. g. WMV, MP3) so that there will be no further fidelity loss.  Consider converting these to FLAC, which is lossless.  The file size will be a bit bigger, but the fidelity will remain.  Pretty much all the SanDisk Sansa devices support FLAC (and Ogg Vorbis, BTW); I have a Sansa Clip that I just love for this reason.

I have a 'how to' to do the above but it is console based,
with lots of shell scripts.  I thought that there might be
an X Gui based package which would take the pain out of all
this work, but so far I've googled about with little result.
Any pointers gratefully received.
