Title: Wav to Mp3
Post by: Dan Winkler on 2002-01-02 05:00 am
I Bet You Cant Do This But Can You Change A WAV To A MP3? Its Probably That Same Old Analogy For The Answer. But Thanks For Answering Me Anyway! --Dan

Yes, an mp3 is basically a compressed wav. You need an "mp3 encoder" to do the conversion. Probably the easiest would be MusicMatch Jukebox (http://www.musicmatch.com), but if you're computer geeky you shouldn't have too much trouble getting the excellent freeware encoder BladeEnc (http://bladeenc.mp3.no/) to work. You can also get several optional Windows front-ends, if you don't like the command-line interface. (This is what I use. The front end I prefer is called BladeBatch.)

I use and recommend db PowerAmp Music Converter (http://admin.dbpoweramp.com/dmc.htm), which can use Lame Encoder as well as Blade Encoder, and can convert between wav, mp3 and wma.

Lame Encoder is advantageous because it can use "variable bitrate" in encoding.

I thought db PowerAmp was freeware but after about a years use it started to pop out nag screens. I don't know how much it costs, though.

Wav to midi is like converting a slice of bread into a sandwich, by analogy <g>

i know of a freeware convertor called CDex 1.30 you can find the link on audiogalaxy.com's hardware/software page, but you need to go to the site, because no downloads from ag actually work.
