A simple sound converter
application for the GNOME environment. It reads anything the GStreamer library can
read, and writes Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, Wave, MP3 and M4A files.
This application is somewhat less fast than various command line tools. Not a whole lot, however, and not enough to make me worry about performance for the foreseeable future. If you want ultimate performance, the command line tools are always going to be preferable.
Ubuntu and Arch packages exist in the official repositories.
