Specifying your search options

If you clicked Convert a folder of audio files on the welcome page, you can select the folder and the types of audio files that you want to convert. You can convert MP3 and WAV files to Windows Media Audio (WMA) files. You can also convert existing WMA files to MP3 files or to WMA files with a smaller bit rate to save disk space.

You can also exclude small audio files, many of which might be sound effects that you do not want to convert with your music tracks.

By default, Audio Converter searches your My Music folder for audio files to convert.

To specify your search options

  1. If you want to search a folder other than My Music for audio files to convert, click Browse.
  2. In the Browse for Folder dialog box, click the folder you want to search, and then click OK.
  3. If you want Audio Converter to search all the subfolders of the folder you selected, select the Include files in subfolders check box.
  4. In the Advanced options box, click all the audio file types you want to convert.

    Click Windows Media Audio if you want to convert existing Windows Media Audio (WMA) files to MP3 files or to WMA files with a smaller bit rate.

  5. If you do not want to convert the smallest audio files on your computer, select the Skip audio files smaller than check box, and then type a number between 1 and 9,999 kilobytes (KB) to specify the minimum file size you want to convert.
  6. Click Next.

    If you want to return to the previous page, click Back.
