Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: yelp, official Ubuntu documentation
(NB: This may be reported for the wrong package - I had no idea where to report
it)
In the official Ubuntu documentation (which is also present in Yelp 2.18.1)
(Feisty) in the chapter about switching from Windows > Preparing to switch >
Converting unsupported... it says that "There are many audio conversion
applications for Windows available for download, and some of these can be
obtained free of charge. These applications are also sometimes referred to as
audio (re)encoders. Your choice of application depends on the formats which you
wish to convert from and to. See websites such as Download.com for a list of
potentially useful applications."
Would it be possible to eventually recommend a few applications in
particular (preferably FOSS)? Download.com is very big and contains a
lot of crap - an inexperienced user would be better off with specific
recommendations, I reckon.
On the other hand I don't know what to recommend... I personally use
dBpowerAMP, but that's not FOSS (and besides it isn't cheap), so that's
hardly recommendable.
May be an idea to look into this?
