Customer has a folder w/ 200+ .wav files and wants to convert to MP3

[John]

He want's to convert the entire folder in one sweep. Which program will accomplish this task?

 

[BlueWeasel]

CDex or EAC should be able to do that easily...

dbPowerAmp mass select add-on, get the 30-day trial since your customer probably won't want to pay $14 for a permanent license.

cdex or lame

Thanks guys. I did a search before posting and saw the programs that you've mentioned, but I wasn't sure about them being able to do a complete directory of .wav's to mp3.

I can't speak for the other programs that've been mentioned but lame will do it no problem.

CDEX is great for that, you select a directory and it will automatically select all wavs, and you can also scan for subdirectories if you like, and normalize audio if desired.
This may also be of interest for auto- removing silence/crap from the beginning/ending of wav files:

you can script it in lame. Anytime you can script....:thumbsup:

another vote for dbPowerAmp...I just right click on a folder with .wavs or mp3s, and it converts them in one sweep. Very easy to use.

Same, nice little program... I take it they switched to shareware / regular software? What a shame.. I have an old version which I'm still using. The only thing they wanted money for is the "Power Pack" portion of the program, essentially a masstagging tool - but there are plenty of freeware taggers out there.
