Hi there,

just wanted peoples opinions on whats the best software for converting all my music a) to mp3's to b) a defined bitrate (and also a low bitrate for mp3 player / phone) and if possible c) to 6 channel

free software would be ace - but ill consider anything if its good enough! its just i Google "audio converter" and surprisingly enough im faced with loads of crud! :(

waahayy! wheres the assumption i wanna rip cd's come from!?! lmao

Just want convert WMA -> MP3 with a free bit of software :) none of that which has been posted has really fit the bill, either isnt free / dosent work / can only input files from one directory (not good with a massive music collection spread between artist / album folders!)

True, however its just as important that the files are as small as possible! haven't got unlimited space! :(

Seems very odd that in this day and age a fairly good bit of free software doesnt exist!
 
Aye, but i woulda just thought through sheer popularity someone somewhere would have made something! :( but even if im willing to pay.. which i would do if something was really worth it.. all the apps are still aload of $^%$!

switch is the program you want

free, and it downloads the encoders/decoders as it needs them, awesome software

the pro version is for cd ripping i think, i just use EAC + lame for that



use mp3 vbr 32-320

i must say swith is lovley - does exactly what i want, free, perfect. However - it does seem unstable - before i dare release it on my whole music libary i tested converting one coldplay album.. the program crashed.. so i rebooted it ran again, went to check the files - and well it had worked fine.. for the files that where there but half of them had been deleted :(

thankfuly my libary isnt that big, so im just in the process of copying it overto another drive then ill unlease switch on it :)
 
Oh ffs, that switch program has just destroyed my entire media library.. at no point did i ask it to ever edit my files, i set it to convert about 20 mp3's and place them in a different folder.. yet ALL my songs are now 1kb files... ive lost all my f'in music to that stupid program.. what a pile of :rolleyes:

grr - now i am really peeeed off
 
not yet :) maybe when i actualy have some music to convert ill give it a go lol

ive calmed down now - still a little t'eed of however :)

anyway im off out :) lol c ya
