If you use some other tool, do mention that in the comments and I may cover it here on It’s FOSS. You may use full-fledged and a lot better audio editing tool like Audacity but that may be complicated to use for smaller tasks like converting audio file formats. Such nifty tools actually make life easier with their focused aim of completing a certain task. I have discussed recording audio in Linux previously with a similar tiny application. Speaking of metadata, have you heard of MusicBrainz Picard? This tool helps you automatically updates the metadata of your local music files. For that to happen, you should have proper metadata on the original file. By default, it will just change the suffix but you can also choose to name it based on track number, title, artist etc. You can also change the output file name. I don’t think you should use that option. There is also an option of automatically deleting the original file after conversion. You can also choose if you want to keep the converted files in the same folder as the original or not. You can change the default output format, bitrate, quality etc. You’ll see plenty of options to change here. To change the default output settings, click on the Preferences icon visible on the interface. It also avoids filesystem corruption (no requirement to "safely remove"), and allows the phone to access the filesystem at the same time.Default output settings can be changed in Preferences Mass Storage would force them to use FAT. It lets them be mounted by Windows despite using the Linux filesystem ext4 internally. I understand there's very good reasons for phones to use MTP (instead of Mass Storage like a USB stick). I found another high-rated file manager that worked though. The Microsoft app didn't let me copy folders. If desired you could copy them to internal storage, using a file manager app. Unfortunately I found this left some of my MP3s as "Unknown album", but it might work for some people. Implication: you don't have any control over MP3 encoding, unless you run Rhythmbox on MP3s.Īnother alternative might be to copy them onto a memory card using a card reader. (I have an MP3 codec installed from rpmfusion). I also noticed Rythmbox transcodes FLAC files as required. but my prediction is it's not going to get fixed. You might guess I'd be happier if this option worked. the file manager didn't supply any metadata (as required by the MTP protocol). The phone listed all the tracks under "unknown album". Though what I should do is reproduce it & report a bug.ĭo not copy tracks using the Linux file manager. mp3 format then you can use sound converter audio converter. for example, let’s say you have an audio file in. Soundconverter is an open-source audio file converter GNOME application used to convert source audio format into a different audio format. and now it's working without any workarounds, sigh. In this article, we are going to learn How to install Soundconverter Audio Converter app in Ubuntu. and actually right-click -> "mount" can get it working after eject+unplug. It seems not to happen if you unplug it without eject / unmount / "safely remove". actually this only happens if you used the eject button in Linux. It's resolved if I reboot (or kill all processes with mtp in their name and log out). Albeit files recognized as podcasts are handled separately.ĬAVEAT After unplugging my Lumia 520, I can't open it again. It doesn't list the files to be deleted (!), or support exclusions or reverse sync. It will delete any sound files from the device that aren't in Rhythmbox. Rhythmbox also has a Sync button when you're looking at the device. So hopefully you can quickly copy over newly added tracks, without having to select them individually. It looks like it skips copying tracks if they're already present. Other music players are available, it just needs to support the USB MTP protocol. Rhythmbox can copy MP3 tracks to Windows Phone. I haven't tried a more recent version of SoundConverter - if possible I prefer using something that allows more control over the encoding quality (there is no setting inbetween 128 and 192 kbits, where the LAME "medium" preset falls). doubling them up, so it's not too surprising. IIRC, Soundconverter was doing something strange with the tags e.g. This can be fixed by applying the MusicBrainz Picard MP3 tagger to the MP3 files. If I use Debian Jessie to convert FLAC files to MP3s using SoundConverter, they appear as Unknown artist, Unknown album. I've created a folder zzz-upload, so I can drop in several folders, then "select all" + move them into place. The "Unknown artist" problem may also be fixed by moving the file - so using a third-party file manager app, you could force a rescan by renaming moving a whole folder at a time. Copying MP3s onto the phone using the GNOME file manager (nautilus) seems to work in Fedora 24, but not in Debian Jessie (older software).
