What it does
soundKonverter is a frontend to audio conversion tools. Its core features include audio conversion, ReplayGain calculation, and CD ripping.
For an existing Linux setup, soundKonverter groups audio conversion, CD ripping and ReplayGain calculation in one frontend. The actual codecs and loudness tools are separate backends, so available formats depend on what is installed. The owner archived the repository on November 25, 2022, and it is read-only. Its About text still says maintenance mode, but this does not establish ongoing support. The installation wiki is historical; confirm a package or build route for the intended distribution before changing an established setup.
