Wav to MP3 convertor

Wav to MP3 convertor

What are good ones to download off the net (i'll happily pay for a good one)

Do they all do the same job or are some better than others?

I used this one on a free trial and it seemed spot on.

Was just wondering before i buy it

get audacity, sound recorder - then the lame mp3 plugin

all free!

Is it easy enough to use?

piss easy.

run audacity (it'll ask where you've got lame installed - u normally chuck this in windows\system32 i think) then, open the wav, the click 'save as' and choose MP3!

couldn't be easier

Lame MP3 Encoder

and

Audacity Audio Recorder

plus both thos sites have good guides on

Cheers mate

While you's are on:

Does anybody know how to change Ableton Live 5 so it plays mp3's? When I first got it all the files used to appear down the left whether they were .mp3 or .wav - now it will only show .wav files and I've no idea how this is or what I've actually done to it

i use soundforge, but thats a bit excessive if your just using it for mp3 conversion

Totally

just use soundforge then - audacity works in the same way as soundforge would.

dunno much about batch mp3 converters

'All to mp3 converter'

convert's wavs, wmas, oggs to mp3

your better using wav's in ableton as opposed to using mp3's

They take up too much disk space. Plus I can't be arsed to convert my mp3's to .wav form.

Can it be done though?

why? if they are mp3s anyway theres no point converting them to wav's, because the sound quality will be the same and they will take up loads more room on your hard disk.

just trust me they are better as wav's, my mate who use ableton to dj had continous problems with it crashing on him and he changed them to wav's and it has'nt crashed yet
