Conversion of wma file to MP3

I have used a converter program called Switch that was okay except that sometimes it clipped off the very end of a file. Here is an article about it.

 

If I am making a very compressed audio file for e-mailing, sometimes I will use wma compression instead of mp3, because wma sounds better for extreme compression rates, say 32kbps or less.

Thank you jimco!  As you suggested, I went to the Dave Taylor site, downloaded SWITCH, and had immediate success.

Thanks for the link. I saw Switch mentioned somewhere else recently, and after reading this thread I decided to try the free version to convert four WMA files to MP3.

Conversion on one file kept truncating about 1/4 second off the beginning, so I tried the SoundTap program as recommended in Help for "Converting Audio Streams or Difficult Files", but that overdubbed the track with an advertizement to purchase the SoundTap program.

I then selected a variable bit-rate MP3 instead of the default in the options. Dunno why, but it worked fine then.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try that the next time I use the program.
