Looking for help with creating music.

I am a newbie. Have used various versions of Linux over time. I am currently using Leap 15.0 and the KDE desktop. I created a file of tunes using K3B however I need them in MP3 format. My new car doesn’t have a CD player but lots of usb ports.
I been all of the settings on k3b but cannot find so fare where to select the output into mp3. Are there other burners out there that I could install on Leap? or is there a good manual on the k3b burner.
I would appreciate any guidance on the problem.

You can use VLC to convert.

In the menu, under Media, Convert/Save.

Follow the dialogues.

Audacity has the widest range of conversion options; just load a file and then File>Extract Audio (it also does lots of other things).

For midi, timidity will convert a midi file to ogg with

timidity -Ov --output-file=Some_file.ogg Some_file.midi

You can then use Audacity to convert to mp3.

youtube-dl has options to output in mp3

You can do that from K3B, but you would

• need to add the Packman repo, through YaST - Software - Software repositories. Trust the key and move on to
• YaST Software Softwaremanager, click View - Repositories, and on the left select the Packman one.
• Now click the “Switch system packages …” link on the top right of the screen.
• Next, search for “k3b-codecs” , “ffmpeg” and iinstall those.
• Now you can use k3b to convert audio to mp3, flac, whatever
