Using the Music Converter application is pretty easy. We have to first choose the encoding such as FLAC. As soon as we select the encoding, it shows various options related to that encoding using which we can configure the codecs. After this we can select the files and proceed with the conversion.

The audio CD Ripper tool demands that we insert an audio CD before we can proceed. Once the audio CD is recognized, we can choose the tracks, select an output folder, pick an encoder (such as FLAC) and continue with the ripping process. It also comes with a CD player built inside.

The batch converter module is meant for large scale music file conversion. It has a file explorer like interface and we can select multiple folders containing the music files for conversion. In the next steps, we can choose the encoder and it will convert all the selected files one by one. If you have a multi-core processor, it can use different cores for simultaneous conversion of many music files.
