Converting Audio Files

I’ve been sorting all my music, ripping cds and backing everything up to my external hard drive and I found some old .wma files which I wanted to convert.

I installed Sound Converter from Synaptic and converted some .wmas to .ogg. The output was very choppy even after changing the bitrate, disappointing. The simple answer, for me, was to install the .mp3 encoder for Sound Converter and convert the .wma files to .mp3. The sound quality is great!

It would’ve been nice to have everything as .ogg but a mix of .ogg and .mp3 is okay too and I can happily play it all on my Android phone!!
