WAV to MP3 Converter

CNET Editors' review

This one-trick pony only converts your WAV files into MP3 format, but at least it's totally free. WAV to MP3 Encoder works quickly, and the interface is simple: just drag and drop files directly from Windows Explorer. However, as its name suggest, the application doesn't support other audio formats the way more comprehensive programs do. Also, though you can of course choose the bit rate of your new audio files, you won't find a VBR option. However, if you're looking for a way to compress WAV files in the MP3 format and your jukebox of choice lacks conversion skills, this application makes an acceptable, if somewhat medicore, option.

    "Virus alert"

    June 3, 2013  |   By Malice_Velocity

    Version: WAV to MP3 Converter 1.0 r1

    Pros

    I don't know, it adds virus to my computer so I had to delete it right away.

    Cons

    Somehow, as I've said earlier, it adds virus to my computer. I don't know if I mis-clicked one of its adds or something, but just be careful if you decided to install this one.

    my recommendation for .wav file converting is to search for some online media converter. I had one place, but it seems that I can't say it here so yea, good luck on finding it. Do scan the website too, just in case.


    cheers.

    "Simple Interface !!!"

    May 15, 2013  |   By Eboniez0671

    Version: WAV to MP3 Converter 1.0 r1

    Pros

    MP3 Wav Converter works both ways and is very fast, which is extremely good. It has a very simple graphic interface, the colors have been wisely chosen and there are no "cool" or "show-off" features. Basically MP3 Wav Converter is a very sober software and I liked that in combination with the hard work it does.

    Cons

    Should this "piece-of-code" (as I like to name the small softwares ) be free it would be a perfect one :) But it's not...and this doesn't alter too much of its high ranking obtained from me. Some code revisiting would be quite welcome, especially in the fields of dragging and queue list - administration.As a personal option, I would put inside the MP3 Wav Converter a minimize-to-tray feature, just in case longer operation-times are due.

    Summary

    One of the fastest converters of its kind I tested so far. A good program which produces good results. I liked it so if you liked it too, definitely go buy it: it's worth.
