.snd files

Asked by swift240

Hi all using ubuntu 8.04 with all updates.

I have a lot of .snd sound files from an Amiga and I would like to convert .snd to .wav in Ubuntu.

Can this be done?

TIA,

Mike.

Hi,

You can use sox via an Terminal. Install it via Synaptic ( choose packages "sox" and "libsox-fmt-all" ).

For convert your files, run an terminal and type:

sox file.<old extension> file.<new extension>

I have tried, it work fine for me.

Regards

PiF

Also, I think that it's supported by soundconverter via one of the plugins (bad list perhaps?)

sudo apt-get install soundconverter gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-good

Can you help with this problem?
