| I have an extensive audio collection that is made of MP3. Unfortuantely, ove the last couple of weeks I ripped about 200 CDs and somehow changed the format to WMA. Now I have about 200 albums in WMA with the rest of my collection in MP3. What is the best software to perform Batch converions from WMA to MP3. I would like to click on all (or a batch) of these albums and convert them to MP3. I tried several Shareware converters and they could not perform batch converions and/or none of them created a new album files. They would convert the tracks into one folder and I would have to go in and regroup the tracks and create album folders. Any suggestions? THANKS |

| dbPowerAMP can do batch conversion, just select all the songs you want, right click, and click convert. It uses a lot of resources when it's converting, but the sound quality is pretty good. |
| Re-ripping all the CDs would be a much, much better idea. Compressing from lossy format to lossy format will end up sounding pretty horrible.

| I'd strongly suggest re-ripping unless you are OK with substandard quality. WMA is a shitty format to start with and transcoding to MP3 will only make it worse. But if you still want to do it, dbpoweramp is a no-brainer utility to do the job. If you're re-ripping, be sure to use the LAME encoder and a bitrate of at least 192 or above.
