Free WAV to MP3 convertor? Where?
« on: May 24, 2006, 10:52:05 PM »
Can anyone point me to a free WAV to MP3 convertor?  Not just a trial for 15 days version, but a full free convertor?

Cheers!

You might find something here:

or here:
http://www.techsupportalert.com/best_46_free_utilities.htm
or here:
http://www.analogx.com/contents/news.htm

These are the freeware sites I have in my Bookmarks, and most have an audio section.

I think iTunes is able to do this, but I'm not at home and snug with my Mac, so I might be wrong.

CDex is great, and will rip CDs too.

If you just want a standalone WAV -> MP3 conversion I'd recommend getting the latest version of the LAME encoder (http://www.mp3-tech.org/software/encoders/lamewin32.exe) which includes both the CLI version and the rather spiffy RazorLAME frontend for it (http://www.dors.de/razorlame/index.php).

I downloaded the free mp3 convertor plugin for Audacity, it's great as it gives you loads of options on quality.
