My old music player on Windows (MusicBee) had a way where it could sync music files to a storage device (in this case android phone) and convert lossless files to mp3 as it was syncing.
I’m trying to use SoundKonverter to do this, however the moment I hit start, it locks up.
Is there a better application for this?
Try winff or qwinff from AUR, or find out more ways from Convert FLAC to MP3 - ArchWiki
I just use a bash script that pulls the tags from the FLAC then pipes the FLAC into lame.
Nothing that I know of from the top of my head does this under Linux, but as the previous replies have shared, there is plenty of software (GUI and command-line) to convert multimedia files.
If it’s imperative that the software can convert audio while it syncs to your Android device, you might want to look into the different offerings of media/music players, such as Strawberry, Clementine, RhythmBox, and etc. (There’s a lot of option, and some even have additional plugins you can add.)
I tried to use Rhythmbox to sync but I kept getting an MTP error.
I’ll just have to resort to the convert then transfer through the file manager.
I don’t know about syncing, buy you can mass convert using Audacity. Here is one video showing how How to: Converting Multiple Audio Files in Audacity - FLAC to MP3 w/ Annotations - YouTube
