Convert

From the File menu, choose Convert to open the MusicMatch File Format Conversion screen. From this screen you can convert:

  • WAV files to .mp3 files

  • WAV to Windows Media
  • MP3 to WAV
  • MP3 to Windows Media
  • MP3 to MP3 VBR or CBR
  • Modify Windows Media bit rates.

From Source Data Type at the bottom/left of the conversion screen, specify the format of the files you wish to convert; either MP3, Windows Media or WAV.

  • From Source Directory at the top/left of the screen, browse for the location of the source file. Select the file(s) you would like to convert from Highlight Files to Convert in the middle/left, by clicking on it. You may select all files in the directory by choosing Select All at the bottom left. To deselect files, choose Select None.

  • Determine what directory the converted file will be saved to from Destination Directory at the top/right.

  • The Destination Data Type options, on the bottom/right, will change depending on the Source Data Type.

  • If your Source Data Type files are .mp3 files, the Destination Data Type will default to WAV.

  • If your Source Data Type files are .wav files, the Destination Data Type will default to MP3 128 kbps.

When converting to MP3, you may also opt to convert at 96 kbps, 64 kbps or 32 kbps. The lower the compression rate, (in kbps) the smaller the resulting .mp3 file. See Record Settings for more information on compression rates.

  • Click the Start button. A converting file dialog will be seen allowing you to view the conversion progress.

The newly created .mp3 file(s) can be seen in the Converted File Names window on the middle/right.
