smallhagrid Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I found a nice spot for free hang drum tunes, and they come in zips of WAV files, stupidly huge & not nearly as useful as MP3s.Just so anyone knows - I don't hear real well, so I don't need anything fancy with high bitrate, etc.Can someone point me to a really small, quick & easy wav to mp3 converter that I can just drop 'em onto and have 'em come out at the same folder ??Thanks.

xanax Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 if you use for example Winamp u can do that, Preferences->Plug-ins->Output->Nullsoft MP3 Output Plug-inConfigure output location, bitrate, samplerate and channels, for example Desktop, 192kBit/s, 44100Hz, StereoDrag&Drop wav in winamp and play (turn off repeat)oruse lame.exe with something like command: lame input_file.wav output_file.mp3http://www.rarewares.org/mp3-lame-bundle.phpreplace names of files how you needpaste that command in text editor like notepad and save for example as wav2mp3.batput that bat in the same folder as lame.exedrag&drop wav on wav2mp3.bator easy wayhere is all you need, rename your wav to input.wav and just drag&drop on .bat file and you will get mp3 file at 128kbps, 44100Hz, joint stereo, cbrSite: http://rghost.net Sharecode: /45153344 [?] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallhagrid Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 Xanax I do appreciate your reply & offered solution also.And...:Pazera Audio Extractor is just a FrontEnd of FFmpeg which use LAME MP3 encoding librarythere is a tons of front ends which uses Lame mp3 encoder or FFmpegIt's a complete, well-made drag-n-drop GUI with easy, saveable settings.Not being a coder it is also ALOT better than anything I can do for/by myself, a mere 3mb download, a no-install, and did what I needed with no muss, fuss or bother.I'm quite happy & have some shiny new hang drum tunes to play; so it's all good.

spudboy Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 dbpoweramp has been my favorite for many years. Right click file, covert, and you're done.http://www.nsanedown.com/?request=48722652 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fla_panther Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 OP, the thing that's nice about the Winamp method is that you can set up a whole playlist, hit play, walk away, and it'll go through and convert your whole playlist. Yeah, you could set it up with a batch file, but it's drag and drop with Winamp. And the Winamp plugin lets you change the bitrate, also gives the option for variable bit rate (VBR) which can make for better quality files.When I decided to go digital I had to rip about 150 CDs but my hard drive only had room for about 20 at a time. I'd rip 20, then set up the playlist and it would do 300 songs at a time for me (took about 20 minutes to convert). Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
