NAME

       soundconverter - convert sound files to other formats

SYNOPSIS

       soundconverter [options] [file...]

DESCRIPTION

       soundconverter  is  a  simple tool for converting sound files to other formats.	It can work from the command line, but is really meant for
       interactive use in the GNOME environment.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      Print out a usage summary.

       -b, --batch
	      Convert in batch mode, from command line, without a graphical user interface.  You can use this from, say, shell scripts.

       -m, --mime-type arg
	      Set the output MIME type for batch mode.	The default is audio/x-vorbis.	Note that you probably want to set the	output	suffix	as
	      well.

       -q, --quiet
	      Be quiet.  Don't write normal output, only errors.

       -d, --debug
	      Print additional debug information.

       -s, --suffix arg
	      Set the output filename suffix for batch mode.  The default is .ogg.  Note that the suffix does not affect the output MIME type.

       -t, --tags
	      Show tags for input files instead of converting them.  This indicates command line batch mode and disables the graphical user inter-
	      face.

       -j, --jobs=
	      Force number of concurent conversions.  Default is one per present CPU.
