Hi,

I need to batch convert around 1000 WAV files to MP3 as quickly as possible.
What is the best shareware solution that can do this and where can I find it?

Any help/tips would be gratefully received.
Many thanks,
Will

I think freeware is better. Batchenc is great for batch encoding. Download LAME and put it in the same folder as Batchenc and use this command-line "lame --preset standard --vbr-new <infile> <outfile.mp3>".

If you really want "as quickly as possible", you can try gogo or helix instead of LAME as the encoder.

Thanks. Sounds good. Where can I find gogo or helix?
