ArnPoe Ugly, but works great! The interface looks horrible, with oversized text and an unbalanced layout. But the app has worked flawlessly since I downloaded it.
It does exactly what it says it does. I use it for converting my original music to MP3 to share with friends.
Pros: - accepts multiple formats - converts to multiple formats - converts quickly - simple and no glitches Cons: - the ugliest app I’ve ever seen - uploads, converts, downloads. So you need an internet connection - there’s no legal notice to assure me my files are safe and private - the help file is empty Despite the cons, it works great, and is worth the download. UPDATE: I like this app. I use it quite a bit. It’s still ugly, but I think my only complaint now is that it asks me to rate it after a few conversions, consistently, despite the fact I’ve already rated it. But it’s still a really, really good utility for converting audio files.
I’ve found the fastest way to convert a file is by starting with an already compressed file (no brainer!); I use the Audio Copy app to convert my wav files to m4a, then upload the m4a app into this to convert to mp3 for sharing with my android-using band mates.

KackyW Good and getting better Sometimes, not very often, the app randomly decides it can't connect to the server and that is really inconvenient. But it works most of the time. Not being able to to stay signed in for more than a few minutes of inactivity is a pain as well. But the last update did make several improvements. My preferred conversion format is now offered as the default so that saves a step. Also, it is now possible to leave the app to go do something else, and the app notifies me when conversion is compiete.

Left Angle WARNING The app’s terms are buried beneath a three hundred word narration of the app’s workings, and then sprinkled throughout the tome’s last paragraphs. Putting all the pieces together is like participating in a scavenger hunt.
The terms appear to say you don’t “buy” this app. You pay a $4.99 subscription fee and implies the fee comes due every “subscription period”, whatever that means. It goes on to say the only way to unsubscribe is via iTunes, but iTunes doesn’t list it as a subscription.
When the receipt came, it calls the app “The Audio Converter, Lifetime Pass” Needless to say, I’m a bit confused. It looks like I may have bought the app and all that subscription stuff was a joke. I haven’t worked with the app enough to give an honest opinion yet, so I’m giving it a neutral+ score. It appears to be pretty good. As I work with it more, I’ll revisit my review. If it’s a subscription, I sure hope it shows up on my iTunes list before my “subscription period” comes up.

Scenario: You’ve obtained an audio or video file that’s either in a format unsupported by the device you intend to play it on—an iOS device, traditional iPod, or your Mac, for example—or in a form that you’d prefer to not use (large AIFF or WAV audio files, for example). There are scads of utilities you can use to convert media files (and some of them aren’t ), but what might you use when you want something converted quickly, without a lot of fuss and bother, and that costs nary a nickel? Try these on for size: Audio and video OS X Lion An operating system? Among Lion’s new features is an Automator trick that allows you to easily convert compatible media files right from the Desktop.
Control- or right-click on an AIFF, WAV, CAF audio file or.mov, MPEG-4, and H.264 video files and choose “Encode Selected Video/Audio Files” from the Services menu at the bottom of the contentual menu pop-up. A small window appears where you can choose your encoder settings. Convert media with Lion's built-in tools. For audio files you have these options: High Quality (128kbps, 44.1kHz, AAC), iTunes Plus (256kbps, 44.1kHz, AAC), Apple Lossless, Spoken Podcast (ABR, 22.05kHz, AAC). Regrettably there’s no option for converting files to MP3.
For video files your choices are 480p (640 by 480 H.264), 720p (1280 by 720 H.264), 1080p 1920 by 1080 H.264), Audio Only, and Apple ProRes (resolution the same as source file). Note that the encoder won’t upscale movies so if your movie is already encoded in 480p resolution the higher resolution settings do you no good. Select the option you want, click the Continue button at the bottom of the window, and your file is converted.
By default it’s saved to the same location as the source file, but you can change that by unchecking the Same as Source File option and choosing a new location via the window’s pop-up menu. Automator If the previous option sounds good to you but you can’t use it because you haven’t upgraded to Lion, there’s still hope. Snow Leopard’s Automator includes this same capability. You simply have to create a workflow for it.
Like so: For audio conversion, create an Application workflow and string together these two actions (found under the Music heading)—Encode To iTunes Audio and Import Files Into iTunes. From the Setting pop-up menu in the Encode To iTunes Audio action, choose the encoder you want to use—High-quality, iTunes Plus, Apple Lossless, or Spoken Podcast.
From the Destination pop-up menu choose a place for those converted files to be temporarily stored—a Converted folder you’ve added to your desktop, for example. In the Import Files Into iTunes action, choose New Playlist and enter Automator Converted. Save your workflow as an application and place that application on the Desktop. When you next want to convert an audio file (no Ogg, FLAC, or Windows Media files allowed) just drop it on top of this workflow. Your file will be converted and added to the iTunes playlist you created.
Converting video files is a similar operation. Point your browser to and visit the. Download the Movie Services and install them once downloaded. A simple Automator application can convert media Launch Automator, again choose an Application workflow, and create a workflow that contains these two actions—Encode Media (found under Movies) and Import Files Into iTunes (found under the Music heading). In the Encode Media action, choose the encoder you’d like to use from the Encoder pop-up menu (Apple TV, iPod/iPhone, Computer, or Mobile) and a destination. Name and save the workflow and place it on the Desktop. When you need a quick video conversion, drop a video file on to the application you created.
It will be converted and added to iTunes. Of course you don’t have to add the files to iTunes. You can skip the second action altogether in each of these workflows and simply save the converted files to a folder of your choosing. ITunes You’ve probably noticed that iTunes does a lot of things. Among those lot of things is media file conversion. Drag a compatible file into iTunes—AIFF, WAV, MP3, AAC, Apple Lossless, or.mov, but not Ogg, FLAC, or.avi—and you can convert it to a format compatible with the iPod, iOS devices, and the Apple TV. To do that, select the media you want and make your selection from iTunes’ Advanced menu—Create iPod Or iPhone Version, Create iPad or Apple TV Version, or Create audioformat Version.
To select exactly which audio format appears in this last command, open iTunes preferences and in the General tab and click Import Settings. In the window that appears, choose the encoder you want to use from the Import Using pop-up menu. In the Setting pop-up menu below you can fine-tune the encoder by changing its bit rate. Audio AppleScript While you can convert files within iTunes, with a well-placed AppleScript within iTunes, you can do more. Doug Adam’s AppleScripts for iTunes is the place to go for such helpful scripts.

His, for example, allows you to select multiple audio files in your iTunes library and then easily convert them to an iTunes-friendly format (AAC, AIFF, Apple Lossless, MP3, or WAV) and then save the converted file to another location on your hard drive. Others Frequent contributor Kirk McElhearn has recently visited audio conversion tools in his. In it he provides links to other tools including for converting FLAC and Ogg Vorbis files.
Is another tool for audio conversion worth your consideration. Video HandBrake about the free, but almost always in regard to its DVD-ripping capabilities. Today’s HandBrake is also a great video converter. To convert your video launch HandBrake and in the navigation window that appears, select the video file you want to convert.
Then expose the sidebar and choose the device you’d like to convert the video for—iPad or Apple TV, for example. Click Start and your video is converted.
HandBrake can convert as well as rip media HandBrake has a couple of advantages over the Lion Automator and iTunes methods. The first is that it can convert video files not natively supported by the Mac OS. You can, for example, convert.avi and.mkv files. It also allows you to batch process files. Just select a file you wan to convert and click the Add To Queue button at the top of the HandBrake window. Then add any other files you want to convert, using this same Add To Queue button.
When you’re ready, just click Start. HandBrake will set about converting all the files in the queue. Video Monkey Chris Marrin’s free ( ) is another Macworld favorite for converting movie files.
Just drag the movies you want to convert into its window, choose a device to convert it for from the Convert To pop-up menu, select a desired quality using the Quality slider, enable the Add To iTunes option if you’d like that to happen when the conversion completes, and click Start. Don’t be taken in As I hinted earlier, the Internet is choked with media conversion applications. You’ll routinely find these things linked to in questionable forum posts and even less-believable shareware and “reviews” sites. Don’t be taken in. If such a utility features a very generic “box” and garish interface—and you’re asked to pay between $30 and $50 for it—you’re generally looking at one of the dozens of spam-promoted products that slap a poor interface on Unix and QuickTime tools that underlie the Mac OS.
And why bother when, for the price of your next breath, you can have a free tool that gets the job done?
