Converting .wav to mp3

J2T · 09-22-2006, 03:20 PM

Whats the easiest way (free software?) to convert wavs to mp3s?

rhino56 · 09-22-2006, 04:31 PM

Nero?

Go to www.goldwave.com

Download RazorLAME (on downloads page). It's a great, easy to use, little app that converts a whole bunch of different formats and stuff. If you want, download Goldwave as well, as it's a rather useful audio editing proggy for audiophiles like myself

I've always used iTunes with no problem at all.

Oh really? Maybe you can help me with recording since you suggested Goldwave for that as well

No prob!

Lemme know what ya need to know and I'll be glad to help

I haven't used that proggy in a long time (I usually use mixing software instead now), but I can still do some funkAY stuff with gw

I'll try out razorLAME thanks. I've never been a fan of iTunes so I have stayed away. I don't have a full copy of Nero, so I was limited in how many I could convert. Thanks guys.

I personally use MusicMatch if I need to convert mp3 to wav, wav to mp3, or change formats on an mp3. Then again, I bought the lifetime upgrades while it was still at version 3 or 4. Not sure how well the 'free' edition of it works for that sort of stuff.

You can also use sound recorder (start / run / sndrec32) which is built into windows... at least the one on XP.

Open a .wav, save-as, change the file type to *.* (all files,) click the change button at the bottom and choose mpeg layer 3 (and sample rate / stereo as you wish,) then change your file name to what you want it to be with a .mp3 suffix and you're done.

I use a freeware named wav to mp3

I cannot remember the name of it, I think it was something like audiocity... It recorded and converted but I cannot remember the name!
