Hello guys,
I finally managed to get Soundconverter (1.5.3) working under OpenSuse 11.3.
Unfortunately it says: “Mp3 encoder is not present”, so I can not convert to mp3 now.
I googled but could not find any resolution. Please, help!
p.s.: It seems that I have already codecs installed because the other audio tool I have (Audacity) is successfully converting to anything I want (incl. mp3).

Take a look at the output of
zypper se -s lame
If the package ‘lame’ is not installed yet, install it.
Try PACPL
It’s in packman
groppiuskalle,
installing “lame” didn’t make a difference for the soundconverter. Still mp3 encoder is not present.
caf4926,
thanks for the suggestion. PACPL seems like a very good package - it instantly worked and it seems to be capable of much more than soundconverter.
So I will be going forward with PACPL.
Thanks guys for helping me out so quickly.
greetings,
Ivo
Maybe soundconverter uses different backends to en/decode .mp3-files. ‘lame’ is considered to be the best backend to create .mp3s (best ratio of quality / filesize), but soundconverter might use for example ffmpeg to do so.
Either way, you found a solution. Happy converting!
Just need to install a library sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly

did you notice the age of the thread you were replying to?
I don’t believe this issue has been a problem for several openSUSE releases as the file you suggested is installed as a dependency.
btw - apt-get is a debian command. It does not work in openSUSE.
