I have just discovered Gnac (GNOME Audio Converter). They have just released a new version with amazing features like customizable folder hierarchy (I like to have my music organized like genre/artist/year - album/). The interface is really nice and very intuitive too.

I’m surprised that no one has mentioned LiVES yet. It’s not pretty, but it certainly is powerful in the video and audio editing side. http://lives.sourceforge.net/
I guess converting is more a bonus for LiVES than the main feature.

Nice little write up and appreciate the all inclusive links. I have always considered ffmpeg and sound converter pretty much all I ever need but nice to have options. For ripping though I have always liked Acid Rip and MEncoder is a must have. Acid Rip can be found here http://untrepid.com/acidrip/

There is also Transmaggedon and Arista. Both for Gnome & Gstreamer-based. They should have compatible â€˜presetsâ€™, only Transmaggedon is based more on bleeding-edge Gstreamer features, Arista relies on stable Gstreamer.
