As title says, soundKonverter (an qt5 fork of soundconvertr gtk) is dead and no qt6 port is comming.
With last Arch and AUR sync state, essential packages are missing for compiling and yea… I think its dead now ^^.
Do you know any good alternative? ^^
That is exactly what i was wondering, guess i have to find a alternative as well.
A few suggestions
soundconverter (gnome soundconverter, less options then soundkonverter)
fre:ac
ffmpeg (there are some GUI’s)
There is a fork in the AUR which is still getting minor updates/fixes - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/soundkonverter-dark-theme-git but it is still Qt5.
Other alternatives are K3b for CD ripping, Strawberry for format conversion and rsgain for ReplayGain.
This version still depends on librarys that are no longer in available, so this is a dead end as well
Might be worth contacting the maintainer of the fork - https://github.com/nphantasm/soundkonverter
https://alternativeto.net/software/soundkonverter/?platform=linux
Pazera looks cool. Proprietary though.
But also +1 for FFMPEG.
I didnt find an Linux application for Pazera ^^
Mm somebody already asked for a QT6 version march this year…no reaction, so there is less hope i guess
Hmm, yea. BUT the AUR package us using this src. ^^
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=soundkonverter
So without qt5 libs, I cant compile it. 
That’s why I suggested to @fred666 to contact the maintainer of that fork - https://github.com/nphantasm/soundkonverter
A workaround may be possible.
Depending on what you need, FFAudioConverter is a simple Qt application for conversions and batch conversions.
Oh yes! Looks good.
I only use it for conversions (with batch) and that looks pretty good.
Only profiles (for different src’s and devices) are missing for me. But that’s ok. Not SO necessary. It’s a convenience feature
Gonna try to get alternativeto to remove Linux from its supported platforms.
Searched through Pazera’s site and Linux isn’t mentioned for the audio converter. Unless it’s hidden somewhere for some reason.
EDIT: I just realised that it says “Linux”, then immediately says “Wine”. And right after I submitted the update request. 
It can be a bit to learn, but the already mentioned ffmpeg is a powerful option when combined with the Linux command line. With that you can run performant parallel batch encoding.
Eg, encoding a directory full of WAVs to 128bit AAC M4A files:
ls *.wav | parallel ffmpeg -y -i {} -c:a libfdk_aac -b:a 128k {.}.m4a -hide_banner
A lot of front-ends are already using it, but you’re relying on many of that front-end developers encoding choices. A simple example, is using the Fraunhofer FDK AAC (shown in the above example), a superior AAC encoder, but simply not available to binary distributed options due to licensing restrictions.
If I want an CLI-Only option, its ok. But I want an GUI with drag and drob function 
And in my binary your codec didnt exist.
I would use it without parallel, for less dependency.
for i in ./*.wav; do
ffmpeg -y -i "$i" -c:a libfdk_aac -b:a 128k \{.\}.m4a -hide_banner
done
But such code I can write for myself. I really want an good GUI-alternative ^^
Yes, it’s license restricts it from being distributed as binary. FDK AAC is open source, but can only be distributed as source. Therefore only versions of ffmpeg compiled on your system are able to support it.
A for loop is not running parallel processes, but sure, if speed isn’t a big deal it’ll work.
All a moot point though. You want the GUI 
fre:ac is great, it’s in the AUR as freac.
Yea, everything is fine. Its for daily usage. Not for nerdy usage xD
So, GUI and comfort ist prefered
And yeah, for speed is parallel a simple solution ^^
Thank you! I think it’s ‘too much’. All the configurations … yes, it’s good for ripping. But not for quick simple conversions. ^^
But yes. I don’t think there are many more alternatives.
Soundconverter gtk works just fine in KDE. I’ve been using it since I first installed EOS KDE and I use it on my Arch KDE laptop.
