Software Recommendation? - Bob Schroeck - 02-26-2011
I'm looking for a good, simple WAV-to-MP3 converter that'll run on Win 7. I've done some googling, and found a few things, but between the ones with adware and the ones that produced garbage files, I have no idea what to use.
I guess I should add that I'm using it to convert ring tones for my new Samsung Continuum smartphone...
Thanks!

Mencoder/Mplayer should do it. It's more a *nix thing, but there's a Windows binary for it if you don't mind using a CLI. It's open source, and I think there're a few graphical frontends for it also. It's what I use when absolutely nothing else will play/encode it, there's a binary codec for nearly everything available.

If you have VLC installed, it has that capability already.

Hope this helps.

Audacity only has "provisional support" for 7, but it's worked pretty well for me.

Thanks, everyone. After poking around I think I'll give Audacity a try.
