I use XCFA, which supports MP3, M4A, AAC, OGG, FLAC, WAV. For other formats like WMA I go back to Windows XP in VirtualBox and FormatFactory.

Try soundconverter which is available from a ppa https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise...soundconverter if not from the normal repos for precise. I am still using 10.04 at the moment so have no idea about its availability in 12.04's normal repos, nor for 12.10.
You can also use avconv or ffmpeg, depending on your version of ubuntu, in the terminal. Whatever you use you will probably need to make sure you have all the codecs that are available from various sources, such as gstreamer plugins, w32codecs (or w64codecs), etc etc, but I am assuming you are already aware of that need.

Soundconverter works fine with 12.04 and I got it using Synaptic Package Manager.
Prefer using Synaptic Package Manager instead of the software center.

you guys rock so much! thank you all for the info.
yep, +1 for SoundConverter
ps I found it in the Software library (12.04 LTS )
what I've found is some of the music library program features don't work on the earlier .wav format -- .flac seems to be preferred
the thing that seems to be missing is an option to correct level to 0db
remember: everything should be at 0db except the level on the final power amp.

I have just detected formatjunkie, it is new and installed without problems. It seems to offer all formats you could wish for. See for description: http://ubuntuguide.net/install-forma...rter-in-ubuntu
By the way I installed xcfa using the software center, if that fails you prbably have a problem with software center.
