Public bug reported: Binary package hint: soundconverter
Ubuntu 11.04, i386 SoundCoverter creates corrupted OGG files # soundconverter -V SoundConverter 1.4.4 using Gstreamer version: 0.10.32, Python binding version: 0.10.21 using gio Error: option -V not recognized I wanted to convert my audio CD to OGG files. I used AUDEX application to extract CD to FLAC files (AUDEX doesn't offer direct conversion to OGG) I used SoundConverter to convert FLAC files to OGG files. Some OGG songs were played in strange way with VLC player so I decided to check them with different audio players. I found that OGG files created by SoundConverter are corrupted. Conversion flow: audio CD -> FLAC -> OGG BUG report at VORBIS site: https://trac.xiph.org/ticket/1807 In short; you can use "ogginfo" to check OGG file for a corruption.
