file conversion

[doodmar]

Does anyone know any good programs to convert OGG files to mp3, AAC, or WAV?

Thanks

Dunno, foobar2000 can convert whatever it can read just fine.

Will try. Thanks again, Ultima

Er, for further clarification, you need the appropriate encoders installed for it to work. LAME, for example, is one encoder that foobar2000 comes with presets for, but you might need to find the LAME executables yourself and place them in the foobar2000 installation directory yourself, IIRC. Converting to WAV doesn't require an encoder, though.

google man. there are way too many converters out there.

here's a good search term: ogg to mp3

first hit. I'd link the search directly, but it's better to learn how to do it yourself..

not being condescending, just stating fact.

I tried googling it, and yes, there are too many. I just wanted someone's opinion of ones they think are good.

I'm not exactly an audiophile, so I wouldn't say my suggestion is what I consider to be "good," it's just what I'm familiar with, and what's most convenient for me.

I see. I'm with ultima..I don't convert too often, as any conversion will cause some sort of loss in the end product. I usually just start off with 320kbit mp3.

all converters are the same, imo. they all perform (and usually look) the same, so whichever you choose is most likely the best for you. for me I just look at screenshots of the gui and see which one I like the best.

I'm glad you tried google first though. I don't know why kids today are too lazy to search out their problem..

not to say you're a kid though. I use the term to describe all lazy people on the net

and now I'm off to wash dishes........>_<

The reason I asked the question in the first place was that I had very large files to start with (WAV and lossless files), and I want to compress them so it's easier on the mp3 player.
