Konvertering

Konvertering er en ny funktion i Amarok siden version 2.4. Den lader dig konvertere mediefiler til et væld af formater meds du kopierer dem til din samling. En enkelt advarsel: vær forsigtig, når du bruger denne funktion, da du arbejder direkte med filer på harddisken. Lav backup!

Interface

Use transcoding while you copy files to your collection folder by right-clicking a media file then Copy to Collection -> Local Collection and a menu will appear.

Transcode Menu

If you choose to copy files to your collection, the following menu interface will pop up.

Menu Item	Description
Copy	Selected media files will be copied to your collection without encoding.
Transcode	Selected media files will be coded with the default encoding preset: medium compression, high quality, Ogg Vorbis (lossy), and a menu interface will pop up. More about this interface here.
Transcode With Custom Parameters	Media files will be encoded to custom formats, provided that you have the required codecs. Selecting this option causes a new menu to appear.

Custom Encoding

Whether to save space, to make your files readable by a portable music player or a particular software program, Amarok can handle it. Choose a codec from the list and a custom setting and click Transcode.

Menu Item	Description
Back	Back to the basic Transcoding menu.
Encoder list	List of all your installed codecs; choose among them to make custom presets. If this list is empty, you need to install FFmpeg.
Transcode	Begins encoding with the selected codecs and parameters.
Cancel	Exits the Transcoding menu and returns to the Media Sources pane.
