[Blindtlk] freeware for audio conversion

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the information.  As to the "free thing," I have no 
problem paying for a piece of software, as I will
probably do with the Stream softpak for recording in MP3.  
However, being a student (and only a teenager at that,) I don't 
have much money to call my own, if any! * Smile! I do get an 
allowance, and could save money for a product, but many online 
paying services require a credit card, which I don't have, and I 
don't want to use my parents' credit card unless there is no 
other option.  So, if there's a free option, I'll go with it.  I 
asked the list if there was any freeware to do this task to see 
if there was a free option.  If not, then I'll probably buy the 
program.  By the way, this is off-list.

I believe there actually *is* a program called WAV2MP3 that does 
sound
conversion.  There's also a free version of the program SWITCH 
that converts
sound file formats.

One more thing: you keep harping on this free thing.  Isn't there 
anything
worth enough you'd pay for it? Why should programmers labor for 
free?

Mike

Hi everyone,

Do you know of any software that I can download (preferably for
free) to convert audio files with? I have documents covered, but
I've found that online-converter.com isn't very reliable, and
would like a program that I can convert audio with, such as WAV
to MP3 or video to MP3.  Any help would be appreciated! By the
way, we're finally getting snow here in Maryland! Thanks!
