Switch Audio File Conversion Software
Last week I ran into a small problem when trying to put an audio book onto my iPod. The audio book was in .wma, or Windows Media Audio format, my iPod doesn’t like that format. A quick Google searches lead me to one of the simplest pieces of conversion software that I’ve used in some time.
Switch is a multi-platform dead simple program to use. Simply tell it where the directory of files lives that you want to convert, point it to the directory where you want them to end up (or the same one), along with what format you want them converted into and click a button. I seriously wish more software was this easy to use.
On my core 2 duo Macbook with 2GB of RAM it took about 4 hours to convert 12 .wma files into 192 kb/s .mp3’s. This isn’t a five-minute job to do, and I fully expected it to take some time, so plan ahead.
Sound quality, to my untrained ears was identical.
Ease of use for this multi-platform software, being able to handle dozens of file formats and being free means this small app will stay installed for some time.
