MP3 to WAV converter?

[Odesseiron]

Hey all, quick and easy question. I'm looking for a free MP3 to WAV converter that doesn't have one of those trials, and is free 100% of the time. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

I have used Winamp in the past for this. I believe it is still in the current (free) version.

Edit: Yep still works. Don't have enough posts yet to post a URL but pic how-to is here:

Audio Sound Converter Software - Convert wav, mp3, wma.

Just download the free version...it's pretty much the whole program and can handle batches of files at the same time, you can choose the output format and then configure the encoder, and can even add your entire music folder to it.

It's also fantastic for fixing pesky mp3 file tags that Vista doesn't like changing.

Eh, you can just use iTunes.

Edit > Preferences > Import Settings > WAV Encoder.

After you set that once, all you have to do is to right click on any song and hit "Create WAV version".

CDex works too.

Free and tiny app. 1.4mb

CDex | Open Source Digital Audio CD Extractor with more than 38,000,000 downloads

Out of curiosity, what are you using this for?

Wasn't really for me. Was asking for my dad. He tried to burn some MP3's on a cd for the car, but it wouldn't read the disc. Which is odd, cause almost every car radio I know of that's newish will play them. So he converted them and it worked. Thanks for the suggestions.

iTunes would be the easiest honestly

Oh, in that case you don't even have to convert them manually. Itunes will do that for you for every file when you burn an Audio CD.

[Odesseiron]

Yeah, I told him that. He's quite stubborn and rather hates Itunes. He has nothing apple on his PC at all.

I hate itunes also! feels so bloated

There are other CD burning software packages that'll automatically convert MP3s when making an audio CD. Nero comes to mind. CD Burner XP can also do that I believe, and is completely free.

Just need to make sure he actually uses the options to burn an audio CD, not an MP3 CD.


In the past when I wanted to convert to WAV, I would just use the diskwriter plugin in Winamp.
