I’m writing this for anyone who wants to convert WAV to MP3 in Ubuntu, or do any other kind of sound file conversion for that matter, in the hope of saving you the frustration I went through.

The answer: Sound Converter. A really simple to use program that can be installed via Ubuntu Software Centre (or Add/Remove Programs on older Ubuntu versions).

I spent quite a while trying to figure out how to do this by searching Google, only to find loads of forum answers of people saying how to do it on the command line, when this obviously named quick and easy program was there all along. Hopefully this post will make its way into the Google results for “convert wav to mp3 ubuntu” and a few people will be saved from unnecessary command line fiddling at the suggestion of the uber-geeks.
