I have a Netbook that I installed Eeebuntu on and that’s the machine I want to travel with. Today I talk about that.

Oh, another Linux geek! I’ve been at it since around 1997. Not sure what you are using to try to do it. I’m sure you need to have “lame” installed for the mp3 part of it. Here are some ideas:
Mobile Media Converter from Miksoft (mmc): http://www.isriya.com/node/2417/converting-amr-to-mp3-on-linux, and downloads current: http://www.miksoft.net/products/ and older versions http://www.miksoft.net/products/mmc-older/
A bit more on the scripty side – there is amrtowav and then you could convert wav to mp3 if you have something for that:

Give your file to an online conversion tool: http://www.convertfiles.com/
I’d try it out, but I don’t have any amr files. Like you said, you may have problems due to the old EEbuntu. I use regular Ubuntu on my laptop and something else (forget the name) on netbook. I dual boot with the windows that came on both of them. I mostly use Linux, but Netflix and downloading ebooks from the library are Windows only for now. Good luck on the conversion program and/or upgrade.
The lilacs are beautiful. Thanks for that!
After I posted, I got the idea to convert an mp3 to amr on the online site, download mmc, and then convert the amr back to mp3. mmc worked fine for me. I’m using Ubuntu 10.4 (lucid). I installed their latest mmc, mobilemediaconverter 1.7.1
the problem seems to be my ffmpeg is not supporting AMR. I’m trying to find the right repository for Jaunty. I think I need to recompile with the open library amr to get it to work.
I was going to run some test but my android phone just records directly into mp3. I will get some amr files from my brother and and see what works. I may even have an old jump drive laying around with Jaunty on it. (god you are running old stuff)LOL
If I remember correctly you use a Blackberry phone to record the tommw. If so I think VR+ will convert it to mp3 by e-mailing it to the blackberry e-mail address at least there web site says it will. I know nothing about a Blackberry but I have been using linux full time since sometime in 97 and Kubuntu for the last 4 years. I have my server running ubuntu server 10.10 and all my desktops on the 11.04 release. Yes I do like to live on the edge. Never could get comfortable in Gnome and KDE just feels like a old shirt that you just can’t get rid of. Glad to hear you are using linux I knew I liked you for some reason. Good luck with and AMR converter for linux it is a highly patented format. I seldom need one so I just use one of the online sites when I do. I love kid3 but you really do need to be on a current version.
I ran the conversion with just ffmpeg using:
ffmpeg -i audio1.amr -ar 22050 audio1.mp3
That is lower quality, but it sure was faster than using the GUI. I looked at my docs on ffmpeg and it says they are using opencore now for amr; so I watched the output when I ran the conversion and see where it uses that and lame. Here’s what I have on my system for those. Maybe check to see if you have them:
ii libopencore-amrnb0 0.1.2-1
ii libopencore-amrwb0 0.1.2-1
ii libmp3lame0 3.98.2+debian-0ubuntu3
yes. that was the problem. i didn’t have the libopencore-amr stuff installed. it’s working now and it’s REALLY fast.
next task: ID3 tags and cover art 🙂
I’m using easytag. It should be in the repository. It says it is ID3 and I see a place that says Picture; so I guess that’s where you add that.
Not sure version of kid3 you have on Jaunty but the one I have in Natty works fine I tested it a few minutes ago. I have not looked at easytag.
Sar for allergy problems if you haven’t seen it already Neil-med bottle sinus rinse the best cuts allergy problems considerably http://www.neilmed.com/usa/index.php
Glad the AMR conversion issue is fixed.
I use EasyTag, for my ID3 tags and to include cover art for my MP3-s.
Thanks, Mainfraime. It doesn’t like my small screen size. keeps jumping around and doesn’t seem to like where I click.
Maybe you would like eyeD3 which is command line. I guess you could make a script and just edit it with the new title and other things that change before running.
I notice that eyeD3 read the tag from Monday fine, but gave an error on Tuesday’s. So it seems to do tags similarly to the way you did it on Monday.
