Need free software to convert music files
 

I have used Realplayer to convert MP3 to WAV and visa versa. I also used it to change the bitrate of MP3's. When I downloaded Realplayer on my new machine the current version doesn't have it (or I'm missing it big-time). Soooo, any suggestions?

VLC - www.videolan.org

HardDrive: thanks for the link. Does the converter work past the 21 day trial? I don't need all that other stuff.
p.s. It was Musicmatch and not realplayer and I see that they discontinued it.

Does anyone know the answer?

Switch sound file converter-free, goes from just about any format to any format

i use goldwave
http://www.goldwave.com/

the trial works with clicks, every interaction uses up a click, at some point you run out... then you save your file
close goldwave
open it again, open the file, continue working
repeat

you can get a lot done without even restarting once

don't know if the current versions still work like that, if not, ping me , i have an old version that still works that way...

I use dbPoweramp as well. Works fine but the UI is a bit quirky.

What happens when the trial period is up? Does any of it work?

Just use Audacity. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
