Does anyone know of a good (free) wav to mp3 converter that canb deal with a batches of musci (i.e. a selection of tracks) and can convert them in a good quality (lame) manner into mp3's?

new version of audacity can do this - link , I haven't tried it yet though so can't tell you how well it works.

thanks tmns

just had a look at it - its more like a wave form editor and it did'nt seem to be set up for converting batches of tracks in a quick and easy manner - appeared better for working on individual tracks

i know it's not free and for osx only, but audiofile engineering's sample manager is a decent app.
it does quite a huge amount of patch processing jobs. you can even define workflow and such.

huge timesaver

In linux (or OSX, I guess), it's:

"ls *wav | while read i; do lame $i; done"

That'll make MP3's of every wav in the directory.

iTunes is a surprisingly good batch converting program.

i just use Foobar2000. just load all your audio files on the player, right click, convert, boom! you do have to download the LAME mp3 encoder and install it in your system, but that pretty easy

All I've ever used is LAME. It's very flexible.
