batch convert mono to stereo WAV files

sdsumike619 · 16th February 2009, 05:05

I've been trying for the last hour to use BeSweet in its wizard and batch mode and cannot figure out how to do this. I have about a hundred 30 minute single channel mono 48,000 sample rate wav files that I need to convert to 44,100 two channel stereo wav so they can easily be burned to CD. Is there something out there that can do this for me? Or can someone shed some light on how to do it with BeSweet?

I thought foobar was just a player? It does encoding too?

foobar2000 is NOT just a player. It allows tagging and conversion functions too (some encoders might need to be installed separately like FLAC or LAME but they're free so it doesn't matter really)
foobar2000 provides sleek and mighty GUI to those tools, which you can benefit from.

from batch it could be like

m2s.exe -l left.wav -r left.wav -o out.wav
:: then
ssrc --rate 41000 --twopass --dither 2 "out.wav" "out.ssrc.wav"

maybe you can even pipe this two together somehow.

m2s and ssrc should be found here

I think foobar is working for me. I used the convert feature with the DSP, using "convert mono to stereo" and Resampler (PPHS) and it seems to have worked just fine. I'll explore it a bit more tomorrow. Thanks for the recommendation
