Supported plugins and formats

Daniel Faust edited this page May 23, 2013 · 6 revisions

The following plugins are part of soundKonverter. They enable the use of the listed formats through so called backends. Backends are programs doing the actual conversion in the background. In order to use them they must first be installed. See [Installing backends](Installing backends) for more details on this. Since you won't need all backends you can look through the tables to see which backends you really need.
File formats are printed bold if the plugin in the same row is the preferred one.
