You might try "soundconverter"

>From the description:

"Description: simple sound converter application for GNOME
 A simple sound converter application for the GNOME environment. It reads
 anything the GStreamer library can read, and writes WAV, FLAC, MP3, and
 Ogg Vorbis files."


It is in the "universe" repository. If you are new to Ubuntu you will get
more information about various sound formats ( mp3, Real etc) that are not
supported "out of the box" on Ubuntu, but can be fairly easily enabled,
from

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
