+      soundKonverter is a frontend to various audio converters.
+      
+      The key features are:
+      - Audio file conversion
+      - Replay Gain calculation
+      - CD ripping
+      
+      soundKonverter supports reading and writing tags and covers for many formats, so they are preserved when converting files.
+      
+      It is extendable by plugins and supports many backends including:
+      
+      - Audio file conversion
+        Backends: faac, faad, ffmpeg, flac, lame, mplayer, neroaac, timidity, fluidsynth, vorbistools, opustools, sox, twolame,
+        flake, mac, shorten, wavpack and speex
+        Formats: ogg vorbis, mp3, flac, wma, aac, ac3, opus, alac, mp2, als, amr nb, amr wb, ape, speex, m4a, mp1, musepack shorten,
+        tta, wavpack, ra, midi, mod, 3gp, rm, avi, mkv, ogv, mpeg, mov, mp4, flv, wmv and rv
+      
+      - Replay Gain calculation
+        Backends: aacgain, metaflac, mp3gain, vorbisgain, wvgain, mpcgain
+        Formats: aac, mp3, flac, ogg vorbis, wavpack, musepack
