Converting To Mp3 From Wav. ???Good Programs

justinfontaine	Date: January 15, 2005 @ 4:20 AM I need a good program that isnt a zip. and doesnt have adware or spyware involved...I cant find any and im getting pissed off
kyodylee	Date: January 15, 2005 @ 5:02 AM http://www.dbpoweramp.com/
Omnipotent12	Date: January 15, 2005 @ 5:04 AM I would say either MusicMatch Jukebox or MediaMonkey. Those are just not only music players but also converters. In addition to MediaMonkey, you can also convert things from or to ogg files as well, which I think its pretty cool.
Spott	Date: January 15, 2005 @ 9:58 AM I vote for dbpoweramp too.
AdamsGod	Date: January 15, 2005 @ 11:08 AM i've been using MusicMatch for years now
2step-4eva	Date: January 15, 2005 @ 1:29 PM try cd-ex...dont know where u get it tho.
wet1	Date: January 17, 2005 @ 4:49 AM cd-ex is a good program for conversion, especially if you are going to go from wav to mp3 to burning it. It will do well for your purposes of conversion. It is now an older program but it is still available out there.
wet1	Date: January 17, 2005 @ 4:50 AM Forgot, dbpoweramp that was mentioned above is also a good conversion program, not just for wav but for converting many formats to others.
TameasDust	Date: January 17, 2005 @ 9:42 PM dbpoweramp has always been the one I used ... converts more than just wavs mp3's ... can convert almost anything to anything else ... just need to download the plugin for it
johnnygnote	Date: January 18, 2005 @ 2:27 PM Unfortunately the new version of DbPoweramp is no longer free. 30 day limit. I suggest if you can find version 9.0 go with that
mp3hardplay	Date: March 2, 2005 @ 1:38 PM This is so simple.....go here http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/ and download CDex ! it's a very simple to use advanced encoding tool, use the Lame encoding engine it's the best in the world !! This software is 100% freeware and it rocks if you need help we have a guide uploaded here http://mp3hardplay.proboards25.com/ or just ask here !
DiSound	Date: March 26, 2005 @ 9:01 AM wav Old version needed, download here in Files section: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/guitarfx
gutterpunkt	Date: April 5, 2005 @ 10:36 PM I just use creative mediasource it came with my SB card... it does the job converts wave to mp3 and so on.
takamineg240	Date: April 9, 2005 @ 1:54 AM I also use the Creative software that was bundled with my SB sound card. It does a great job. On my computer at my parents house, I downloaded a plugin that works with my recording program. I can save directly to mp3.

LMosD4rk51d3	Date: June 7, 2005 @ 10:55 AM Acoustica is the bomb for this...ive used it for ages and it has never done me wrong...do a search and youll find it, costs money though...not if you know what you are doing though grins
EvilPicnic	Date: June 7, 2005 @ 11:05 AM I use Audacity, with which you can import wave and export mp3. It serves it's purpose well, although fuck ups occur when midi is involved (it gets clipped at the end).
djfacemachine	Date: June 7, 2005 @ 10:55 PM i love acoustica. it's great because you can convert files with just a right click and you don't have to load any progs.
SlashJr	Date: August 7, 2005 @ 11:02 PM jus go to the properties of the file and convert it..ull see where u can do it..jus change it..
mattbanx	Date: August 8, 2005 @ 1:12 AM I use Windows Workstation currently. I downloaded CDex, though I have not had a chance to use it yet. But everyone I have read in forums that talks about CDex swears by it. You can use it to convert WAVE, RIFF, MP3, and MP2 files. It is freeware. I'm going to try it when I write new demos.
mattbanx	Date: August 8, 2005 @ 1:22 AM I found the CDex link. http://cdexos.sourceforge.net/
mattbanx	Date: August 8, 2005 @ 1:30 AM Oops! I see someone beat me to it. But the page on both links is different.
FraDonaghy	Date: August 8, 2005 @ 1:36 PM I use Wavepad - its free and I've never had a problem with it
mattbanx	Date: August 9, 2005 @ 1:56 AM I have wavepad too. It is good. I go from my older computer that has a Sound Blaster card I installed to the line in of my newer one. I have not joined the 21st century quite yet with audio devices. I can't get over listening to tapes and vinyl. I would never want to. The record companies must have had one hell of a sound personel staff to do all those old Beatles records for CD. I'm a bit of a record collector and agents even asked me for old albums. I declined.

orgasmotron	Date: August 31, 2005 @ 3:07 PM goldwave anybody? thats what i do all my post-processing in, once i've rendered to a .wav er .mp3 file.
yardape	Date: December 3, 2005 @ 7:49 PM try this it worked for mehttp://www.mthreedev.com/download.html
TameasDust	Date: December 5, 2005 @ 2:29 AM i use 'switch' now dbpoweramp decided to go non-free on mp3 encoding http://nch.com.au/switch/index.html
Bhairava	Date: December 6, 2005 @ 4:04 AM Um Cool Edit Pro 2 have a lot of conversion options though its not made specifically for it.
guitaroo	Date: December 6, 2005 @ 7:33 PM thanks FraDonaghy I'd been using something that wasn't that convinient and decided I'd try that, It's really good
TameasDust	Date: December 7, 2005 @ 12:01 AM http://www.nch.com.au/wavepad/ oooo from the same people who do switch
TameasDust	Date: December 7, 2005 @ 12:18 AM ooooooooo NOW I can edit other people's songs into BETTER songs .... cool
LChen	Date: December 23, 2005 @ 2:33 AM I second Audacity, which is an awesome, FREE program.
Distilled1	Date: December 23, 2005 @ 3:04 AM Switch
mental-torture	Date: December 23, 2005 @ 3:06 AM I use Audacity.
shouhei	Date: December 23, 2005 @ 9:09 AM I vote dbpoweramp or cdex.
Fraser	Date: December 23, 2005 @ 2:01 PM Audicity?
hueseph	Date: December 23, 2005 @ 11:32 PM I use audacity as well. Works fine and has a decent interface for editing ID3 tags. Also doubles as a multitrack recorder that is VST and ASIO compatible.
Fraser	Date: December 24, 2005 @ 12:37 AM Tis a good program.
leedsquietman	Date: January 20, 2006 @ 5:56 PM for free - CDEX. for money 20 dollars or so- CD Tag (30 day free trial available), rips to mp3, mp3 vbr using lame encoder, wma lossless, wma (1 or 2 pass constant bit rate or variabe bit rate), flac, wavpack lossless, ogg vorbis, aac/m4a, monkey's audio, musepack, true audio, shorten lossless and optimfrog lossless. the latter also renames and retags etc. Both are spyware/adware free.
Distilled1	Date: January 20, 2006 @ 8:30 PM You know I convert all ours with Music Match free version seems to work great no complaints except I liked the old lite version I have on CD somewhere and the one that came bundled is a mess like real1player
