How to convert flv to mp3 on ubuntu 14 without ffmpeg

Question

And how to do any convertions in Ubuntu 14 if there is no ffmpeg anymore? When I last use it prev version I had warning to use different tool but I don't remember what it was.

Solution 1

In Ubuntu >=14.04 just use avconv instead of ffmpeg it's a fork and it's seems it accept same command line options.

Install the libav-tools package to get it.

Solution 2

You can use Sound Converter.

Sound Converter is a gnome sound conversion available for Linux. You can convert music files into another format (OOG, MP3 and Flac). The tool is very simple, just add the files, set the destination directory and convert the files.^SC

To install, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:

sudo apt-get install soundconverter 

Solution 3

Straight forward: avconv -i /path/video.flv /path/audio.mp3
