What I meant to say was soundconverter wouldn't even load the AIFFs. That is, I could see the files if I changed the filter to "ALL" when looking for files to open, but after selecting the file, I couldn't see it in the soundconverter main window.

Just let me say I appreciate very much the time you took to look into my AIFF problem. > Totem (based on GStreamer 1.x instead) opens a dialog, offers to search > for a plug-in, but doesn't find any. I gave Totem a go (don't know why I didn't earlier). Not only did it play the AIFFs, but it also read the metadata! The embedded album art, the song title, artists etc. were all available. I'm going to guess totem didn't work for you and did for me because I have a gstreamer package installed that you don't. There's also the chance my AIFFs are slightly different than yours: perhaps yours are throwing Totem for a loop.

This works for me, too. Since I want to convert to flac, I used this: gst-launch-0.10 giosrc location="file:///home/derp/user/Downloads/deniz_koyu-bong_original_remix.aiff" name=src ! decodebin name=decoder ! audiorate ! audioconvert ! flacenc mid-side-stereo=true quality=5 ! giosink location="file:///home/derp/user/Downloads/deniz_koyu-bong_original_remix.flac" The metadata made it over to the flac: audacious played the converted file and displayed the metadata without issue. Soooo, is this a bug in soundconverter, or am I using soundconverter incorrectly?
