I use MediaConverter for drag-drop conversion for Mac (totally free). It converts sound files and also converts between just about any video file, or directly from video to sound (or sound to video, but that's rather pointless). Just choose the format you want
to convert TO (you can experiment with creating your own, or use the presets), highlight your files in Finder, and drag them in - it will auto-detect the input and adjust accordingly.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You can find it and some extra presets at: <a href="http://media-converter.sourceforge.net/">http://media-converter.sourceforge.net/</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You should probably also install the free ClipGrab app to make sure you have the correct libraries: <a href="http://clipgrab.de/en">http://clipgrab.de/en</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> For a free solution I have not found anything that tops it.</div>

<div>If this is an ongoing process (i.e. multiple batches) and you are comfortable with terminal (or basic scripting) then SoX is a great tool to have in your workflow </div>

<div><a href="http://sox.sourceforge.net/sox.pdf" target="_blank">http://sox.sourceforge.net/sox.pdf</a></div>

<div>It will handle all kinds of audio problems, like splitting channels, changing bit-rates, formats etc.</div>

<div>Hi all,</div>

<div>I was wondering whether anyone had any recommendations for free Mac programs which do batch converts of .wav files to .mp3 files (for streaming online).</div>
