Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Switch is free format converter for audio files. So, for example, if you need to convert a bunch of Windows Media files into .mp3s so you can play them on your iPod, then Switch can help. This application supports conversion from and to a variety of formats, providing input and output for .mp3, .wav, .aif, .ogg, .flac, and more. (Although note that not all formats work both ways, like you cant output .wma or .rm files even though you can open them--and you cant decode any sort of copy-protected file, including aacPlus.) Switch has an easy interface that lets you choose input and output formats and then add files to convert (and even play). Conversion is fairly fast, with Switch automatically downloading additional plugins if necessary. Switch is also available as a Windows application, and this unfortunately shows in some instances, as the help files are not Mac-specific.Publisher's description

"Quick & easy but doesn't transfer metatags"
Pros: quick and easy with good functionality
Cons: converted a large batch of files - easy but didn't transfer any of the metatags which is a serious pain.
