If there is a need to convert an audio file, it is impossible to do it without a converter. By the way, nowadays it is even possible to convert videos to MP3 with the help of YouTube to MP3 converters. But now, let’s focus on audio converters.

Media.io

This online audio converter can be found at the link https://www.media.io/. It is worth mentioning right away that it can be viewed from different angles because the browser version of the converter differs significantly from the desktop version, which is paid. Among the features of the browser version stand out:

• the ability to convert only 2 files;
• saving files both on your computer and on the cloud server;
• free use;
• an impressive number of supported formats (MP3, FLAC, WAV, M4A, WMA, and others).

As for desktop versions of this program, they open up incredible converting possibilities: you can even change the audio format by downloading entire folders. Here are the main features of the desktop version:

• the minimum price is $40 for using a personal account for a year, a lifetime license is$ 60;
• according to the developers, the conversion is 30 times faster than using any other converter (according to information from the official website);
• applications can be downloaded for both Windows and Mac.

This option is a very nice one if you need to convert files frequently, especially if you deal with a large number of files where there is a need for batch conversion.

Online Audio Converter

Now let’s take a look at an alternative to the previous batch processing option, which is also completely free. Online Audio Converter makes it possible for users to simultaneously convert a large number of tracks. Like the previous options, this audio converter supports all popular formats, allowing you to convert to MP3 and more.

Pay attention that the key feature of this service is that it can convert video to mp3 – that is, make audio files from video recordings, which favorably stands out among the previously reviewed converter. This can be useful, for example, if you have heard music in a movie or some video, but you simply cannot find it. In this case, the conversion will come to your aid.

Among the key features, a variety of settings should also be highlighted, including:

• recording quality;
• bitrate;
• the number of channels, as well as their frequency;
• removing voice from recording and much more.

An interesting feature is also the fact that you can upload audio recordings to the converter not only from your computer but also from any cloud storage. 

Convertio

Convertio is another example of an online music conversion service that offers both a free version and a subscription option that costs 12 dollars a month. As for the conversion itself, with the help of this tool, you can work with almost any file, and as for music, the service copes almost perfectly with any formats: ogg, wav, flac, mp3, wma … Users highlight a huge number of server advantages, which include:

• batch processing;
• attractive and simple interface;
• work with cloud storage;
• an impressive number of formats.

The difference between the paid version and the free version is the number of files that you can convert at the same time. For this reason, the service can be used free of charge if you do not need constant batch processing. If you have a free version, then you can convert only two files at once, but after that, you can upload an infinite number, the limitation applies only to parallel processing.

Speaking about the paid version, you can convert about 50 files simultaneously. 

Diktorov.net

And finally, let’s take a look at a very simple Russian audio file converter, which can also be used to perform simple tasks. It is called diktorov.net. Its features include:

• processing only one file at a time;
• a small number of supported formats (WAV, MP3, FLAC, OGG, AIFF, M4V);
• simplicity and speed of conversion;
• the ability to set simple settings (bit rate, number of channels, compression).

In any case, the choice is yours, each of the tools is good in its own way and has its own advantages and disadvantages. It is necessary to choose based on your tasks and in accordance with the required functions, formats, speed, and the number of concurrently processed audio recordings. It is not worth spending money on a paid converter if you only process files occasionally, but if this is part of your work, it may be worth resorting to the features of the paid services.
