Convert

 

Menu Path: File/Convert

From the File menu, choose Convert to open the MUSICMATCH File Format Conversion screen. From this screen you can convert:

  • WAV files to .mp3 files

  • WAV to Windows Media

  • MP3 to WAV

  • MP3 to Windows Media

  • MP3 to MP3 VBR or CBR

From Source Data Type at the bottom/left of the conversion screen, specify the format of the files you wish to convert; either MP3, Windows Media or WAV.

  • From Source Directory at the top/left of the screen, browse for the location of the source file. Select the file(s) you would like to convert from Highlight Files to Convert in the middle/left, by clicking on it. You may select all files in the directory by choosing Select All at the bottom left. To deselect files, choose Select None.

  • Determine what directory the converted file will be saved to from Destination Directory at the top/right.

  • The Destination Data Type options, on the bottom/right, will change depending on the Source Data Type.

  • If your Source Data Type files are .mp3 files, the Destination Data Type will default to WAV.

  • If your Source Data Type files are .wav files, the Destination Data Type will default to MP3 128 kbps.

When converting to MP3, you may convert to bitrates from 8 kpbs to 320 kpbs. The lower the compression rate, (in kbps) the smaller the resulting .mp3 file. See Record Settings for more information on compression rates.

  • Click the Start button. A converting file screen will allow you to view the conversion progress.

The newly created .mp3 file(s) can be seen in the Converted File Names window on the middle/right.
