audioconvert! the new super script to convert audio files!

[hbb]

Perhaps I'm missing something, but it doesn't seem like audio-convert is actually doing anything on my computer...

I've installed audio-convert as a Nautilus script (on 7.10, in case that's relevant), and can run the script on .wma files just fine. All the available conversion formats show up, quality selection menu, etc. and audio-convert ends with a polite little message telling me everything went off without a hitch...

...BUT, this new .mp3 (or .aac, or .flac, etc.) file which has supposedly been created for me is nowhere to be found - not in the folder of the original .wma, not in my home folder, not on the Desktop...

I've noticed that several other users seem to have had this same problem, and I have yet to actually see anyone give them help, so perhaps this is just another futile post falling on dead ears, but what gives? Have any of those users had success in finding these damn files? Is this program just making a good show of things, or is it really creating these files (and where the heck are they, in that case)?

did you try:

sudo updatedb

sudo locate nameoffile.mp3/aac/etc

[hbb]

Yes. Nothing shows up. I can only assume an error is occuring somewhere, but nothing in the output of the program would suggest that.

feeling like a noob cuz you can't get this to work? i know i did lol. heres some stuff i found, hopefully you can use
1) the .gnome2 folder (which has the nautilus scripts folder in it) is HIDDEN, go to your home folder, and hit ctrl+h to show the hidden folders
2) if youre not getting the script to show up even after installation try this
2a) go here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/nau...-audio-convert
2b) this link is the package details, download the deb package manually from the bottom, find where it downloaded (usually either home folder, or desktop) right click and hit extract here, then open the folder it extracted, and use the extract here command once more on the folder labeled data. open that, then open usr, then share, then nautilus scripts
2c) take the convertaudioscript file and place it in your nautilus scripts folder that is located in the .gnome2 folder
2d) run this in terminal: chmod 740 ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/ConvertAudioFile

hope that helps somebody

also if youre interested, heres a similar script for video. i havent tested it extensively, but it should work

id3tag works, as of Xubuntu 8.10.

But to get the metadata from ogg, you must change

314 artist_name=`ogginfo "$1" | grep artist | cut -d \= -f 2`
315 album_name=`ogginfo "$1" | grep album | cut -d \= -f 2`
316 song_name=`ogginfo "$1" | grep title | cut -d \= -f 2`
317 track_number=`ogginfo "$1" | grep tracknumber | cut -d \= -f 2`

to

314 artist_name=`ogginfo "$1" | grep ARTIST | cut -d \= -f 2`
315 album_name=`ogginfo "$1" | grep " ALBUM" | cut -d \= -f 2`
316 song_name=`ogginfo "$1" | grep TITLE | cut -d \= -f 2`
317 track_number=`ogginfo "$1" | grep TRACKNUMBER | cut -d \= -f 2`

where line 315 must have a tab preceding ALBUM. (Otherwise it grabs a bunch of replaygain data, too.)

hi by using the technology you cant get accuracy in the document that you were converted. the transcription service companies providing the convert file facilities with 98% accuracy in this format.
The Audio to text transcription service is another popular arm in the transcription service industry. It has become a part and parcel of day to day life. Its impact is that much great one cannot imagine without its presence.

Audio files conversations not up to the standard in the software tool. so i m now using the transcription service facility to keep my record properly with accuracy...
