Transcoding

Transcoding is a new Amarok feature as of version 2.4. It allows you to encode media files to a variety of formats while copying them to your collection. A word of warning: be careful when you use this feature, as you are working with actual files on your hard drive. Have a 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.
