Having recently got an iPhone 3G, I found myself immediately in the position of having to understand how to handle some things on my Debian. In particular I was interested in converting some audio-video files to make them compatible with the player. What I experienced are 2 main methods:

1) from the terminal using mplayer with the following syntax:

file.mp3 mplayer-ao pcm-ao pcm: file = "~ temp.wav"

~ temp.wav faac-o-w file.m4r

rm ~ temp.wav

2) or use Mobile Media Converter software cross-platform easy to use and converts the following formats:

Desktop Audio: mp3, wma, ogg, wav
Mobile Audio: AMR, AWB, mp4
Desktop Video: wmv, mpeg, wmv, avi, flv
Mobile Video: 3GP, MP4
