Music file conversion app for N900
 
Hi all

Just wondered if anyone knows if there is a music file conversion application available for the N900? Or is there somebody working on it?

I thought it may be useful for the mycontact application so MP3 files can be converted to WAV files without having to do it on a PC. I dont have on-demand access to my PC as I'm away from home alot.

Thanks

Zan ;)

I'd say ffmpeg. That`s the tool I would use on my linux desktop and it's downloadable through CLI; root -> apt-get install ffmpeg.

I have not tried the conversion to WAV, but as far as I know ffmpeg supports that. So after installing it your command line option would be something like

ffmpeg -i file.mp3 file.wav

For more info see:

i imagine it would be easy to write a script to use ffmpeg to take a folder full of flacs to mp3 and then transpose the tags?

Also look at ¨sox¨ and/ or ¨lame¨. Both are command line based but do the job depending on desired formats.

Couldn´t refrain myself from looking into it a little bit more. Had success to some degree, the progress of which can be seen in the screenshot below.

The conversion works as propagated, the default media player,however, refuses to play the file. I am not sure if that is just my machine or a general bug. There is a somewhat curious bug report which can be found below. It is stated that the bug is resolved or never was a bug in the first place.

On another note, I did have success converting a quicktime mp4 movie to mpeg format. :)

The default mediaplayer does not like all wav files.
