Switch Audio Converter Free for Mac lets you convert all kinds of audio files into different formats for use on your Mac or on other devices. With this app installed, all it takes is a few clicks, and you'll be on your way to enjoying all of your favorite music, wherever and whenever you choose.
Pros
Lots of options: Switch Audio Converter Free supports a wide range of both input and output formats, making it easy for you to find the combination that will work for your needs. And in addition to straight audio tracks, it can also handle extracting and converting audio tracks from video files.
Behavior preferences: You can adjust the behavior of this app in several ways, including the actions it takes when overwriting and converting. There is also a special set of preferences governing the handling of CD tracks to ensure you get the highest quality output possible.
Cons
Shared interface: Switch Audio Converter Free also functions as the free trial for the paid version. That means that, when you initially download it, all paid features are active. However, after 14 days, you'll lose access to those paid features, although they'll still show up in the interface.
Bottom Line
Switch Audio Converter Free for Mac works well and offers a nice set of features. The way the free and paid versions share the same interface is a bit frustrating, particularly because you'll have access to all paid features to begin with. But overall, the app is a good tool to have at your disposal.
