    Can you convert a WAV file into MP3?

    Just wondering if anyone has any knowledge of any software or what-not that can assist me in turning a .wav file into a .mp3 file ?

    Something that is user-friendly and simple to use..... and free or very inexpensive (under $50 USD) to purchase.

    You can do it with Sound Forge. I got mine for free but I don't know if you are supposed to pay for it. If it's really a big deal I can do it for you.

    Idealism is fine, but as it approaches reality, the costs become prohibitive.

    I'm hoping this is the right Sound Forge - http://www.freefunfiles.com/software...forge-7.0.html

    I'll also download CDex as I want to see which one is more suited to me.

    What about -- http://www.cdhnow.com/mw.asp ???

    Otherwise I might have to take you up on your offer Bunny

    I used the CDex program....

    I used the CDex program....

    The wav files are still wav files on my computer ?

    All that changed was the bit rate ( from 1411kbps > 128 kbps ) and the size ( from 15.1MB > 1.37MB)...... is that all it does ? Is that how it makes it an MP3 file? I thought that it would change the .wav extention to .mp3 ???

    What am I not getting ???

    128 is an mp3 bitrate. Are you sure it didn't change the extension?

    No no no......use Apple's iTunes!! It's free and runs on Windows and Macs! It's the best music software out there. You can burn, convert, organize, and buy music!!! Try it!!!!

    I use Windows Media Player to do my conversions, but you can also find convereters on this site.

    I just go into Tools/Options and then click on the Rip Music tab and then select mp3 in the little format box under the Rip Settings. I attached a screenshot for you.

    Dammit, my attachment came out too small to read! I'll reattach it after making it bigger...see if this works...

    Thanks Ashara !

    It worked because I had the .wav file that I wanted to convert to MP3 already burnt to a CD.
    Otherwise I don't know how I could do it with a file that is already located on my computer.
