Hello, I have just completed some tests with soundconverter. I am a bit confused: 1. In Windows, using any of the plethora of software available, I converted 18 mp3 files totalling 124.9MB to wav files, resampled at 44100. The resultant size was 580MB approx. 2. In Hardy, using soundconverter 1.0.1 (from the repository), I noticed it used 50% CPU resources when loaded and was non responsive for about 15 seconds, greyed out then was available to use. There is no resampling available in this version and converting the same mp3 files to wav format resulted in a whopping 116.9GB ! 3. I installed manually the latest soundconverter 1.4.0 which permits resampling for wav files so I chose 44100 as in the Windows test. Then I did the same conversion. Ouch - 1.83GB !
Soundcoverter to wav results in very much larger file sizes than similar programs in Windows. Can anybody tell me why and which is actually doing the job properly? BTW, no, K3b is not an option for me as K3b still has burning discs bugs - and only Imgburn in wine works for me - that is, no Linux burning works.
