2. Add files
- Drag & drop audio files or folders into the main window.
- Or click Add Files to browse and select individual files.
3. Choose output format
- Format menu: Select target format (MP3, WAV, FLAC, AAC, OGG, M4A, etc.).
- Batch: The chosen format applies to all files in the queue.
4. Set quality and encoding options
- Preset/bitrate: Pick a preset (High/Medium/Low) or manually set bitrate (e.g., 320 kbps for MP3).
- Sample rate / channels: Adjust sample rate (44.1 kHz common) and mono/stereo as needed.
- Lossless: Choose FLAC/WAV for lossless output.
5. Optional processing
- Normalize: Turn on normalization to even out volume.
- Trim/crop: Set start/end times to cut sections.

- Overwrite/Keep originals: Choose whether to replace existing files or create new names.
- Folder structure: Optionally preserve source folder structure.
7. Start conversion
- Click Convert or Start.

8. Verify results
- Play a few converted files to check audio quality and metadata.
- If issues appear, adjust bitrate/sample rate or codec and reconvert a test file.
Quick tips
- For music, use 256–320 kbps MP3 or AAC for good quality/size balance.
- For archival, use FLAC or WAV.
- Use batch mode for large libraries to save time.
- Keep a short test file when changing settings to avoid long reconverts.
Example workflow (MP3, fast)
- Add folder of WAV files.
- Set format to MP3, bitrate 192 kbps, sample rate 44.1 kHz.
- Enable normalization.
- Set output folder and start conversion.
