Best free audio to MP3 software?

LARRYB · 24th April 2007, 03:12

Has anyone have a suggestion as to the best free shareware audio to MP3 conversion software?

I had one some time ago, deleted it and now need another one.

Any suggestion would help.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Its wery hard to in any way say "best". What is best for some is not nesseray best for you. Thats problery why forum rule 12 exist.
I have scripts that convert audio files to MP3 or some other audio format, that what I like best. Just right click and sendto.
If you are a newbee you should go and try Belight a audio converter program simple and good.

Everybody agreed. The best freware mp3 encoder is LAME.

Another question is use command line, or any GUI or frontend. The differences between BeLight, BeHappy, Foobar, dbPowerAmp,... are only in the interface comfort, the quality is always the same if you use equivalent parameters.
