Ok, now you have the audio tracks in the wav file format. in the next section you can find how to encode it into your preferred format (e.g. mp3).
Converting wav files to mp3
There are few utilities allowing to encode the wav file into mp3 available on linux. I used soundconverter, simple GUI tool, downloadable from the repo.
$ sudo apt-get install soundconverter

Afterwards you can start it from command line (soundconverter) or main menu and encode the wav files into desired format (mp3, ogg etc.) as presented on the figure below:
