How do I convert .SND files to MP3?

[fester225]

I have a single .snd file which I'd like to convert to MP3. It used to work using Winamp in Microsoft but won't play under Amarok. Sox gives me "play formats: no handler for detected file type `video/x-ms-asf'".

How do I convert this .snd file to MP3?

One Internet source says this is a standard Unix format, another says this comes from Apple.

Have you tried using ffmpeg from the command line?
Try a command like this:-

ffmpeg -i <input-file> -acodec mp3 output.mp3

[SuperSonic4]

ffmpeg -i input.snd -acodec libmp3lame -ac 2 output.mp3

You can tweak bitrate too
