Transforming .waw files into .mp3 format

[Procyon]

Anyone knows what *good* program can I use to transform the .waw into .mp3 `s?

[Cybopache]

I use my MUSICMATCH jukebox program to do that.

www.musicmatch.com

but there are probably a lot of programs out there.

I use the same...but *.waw...doesn't he mean *.wav?

I dunno, if he said .wav, I'm sure everyone would be able to help him then.

As for .waw, I've never used / heard before.

Use winamp, best one :_)

edit: for .Wav that is -.-

Yes, I mean .wav files. I wrote it wrong. :P 

How can I use winamp to change them, I really don`t know.

I believe what you do is go into preferences, output, and select Nullsoft diskwriter plugin. Select a directory for the output. Then start playing your music and it should start making them into wav files.

I would recommend making your playlist first, then start at the first song (at top) and it should go through and make them all into wav in the directory (folder) you selected.

It uses a lot of processing power, so I wouldn't be doing anything when you start to do it.

EDIT - Also .wav files are big so make sure you got lots of space when you make em! (if you are converting songs, especially say 16 for a CD, would take up 650-700mb)

Ever tried Windows Sound Recorder? You get the option to convert things, if you look carefully at the save as dialogue box.

Is that the standard sound recorder in windows ? Doesnt that have a 60 second limit ?

Or was that only when I last used it ?

When I converted Wavs to mp3s I found something called Xing something which did the job.

It has a 60 second limit on the length of files when you record from the microphone. But you can load longer files.
