This is an old program that I wrote but need to start over from scratch on it since the code is all over the place. If you have pmetatagger 2.0 installed I have a simple bash script that you can use which will retain the tags. You can find it in the pmetatagger thread at:

You can find the script on page 6 of that thread. You'll need to modify the INPUT line on the script but it should be pretty straightforward.

I downloaded and installed PawdioConverter-1.2.pet but when I tried to select an "m4a" file the file name was greyed out so I couldn't select it.
Then I downloaded faac-1.25.pup but when I tried to install the only reaction I got was the hint to install dotpuphandler first, which, in fact, is already installed.
How can I get PawdioConverter to convert m4a files? Or install a plugin or library that can do this?
Following the link for faad

The subsequent download link ended in a Page Load Error.

Also Menu -> Multimedia -> Pcdripper can convert wav to mp3.
