If you're good with 16-bit, iTunes works very simply. If wav is your import preference you select all the aiffs and right-click to 'create WAV version'.

Well first some of the files are 24 bits, and then I want to convert a lot of files without the hassle of adding them to itunes and then deleting them.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Audacity can do batch too with "export multiple".

For batch processing of audio files I love Goldwave (even the free demo version can do it)!

Looks interesting but crashes on Windows 8. Is there any way to make it works, this is the kind of converter I'm looking for.Zombie Queen wrote:http://sourceforge.net/projects/sox

Once you have installed it you can use cmd.exe to loop over all files and convert them:
The single invocation you care about is:
ffmpeg determines the input file by extension and contents of the file and generates the output file based on its extension. It has a ton of other uses too like stereo to mono or lowering bit/sample rates.
I've used it a lot on Linux, not so much on Windows but I did see they do have builds for Win.
Good luck.

Code: Select all
c:\aiff_dir> for %i in (*.aiff) DO C:\Progra~1\ffmpeg\ffmpeg.exe -i %i %i.wav
Code: Select all
ffmpeg -i input.aiff output.wav

Acoustica can do it, too (with batch processing)!

That's too bad... does it give a windows crash dialog? What options did you use?SampleScience wrote:Looks interesting but crashes on Windows 8. Is there any way to make it works, this is the kind of converter I'm looking for.Zombie Queen wrote:http://sourceforge.net/projects/sox
Anyhoo... you could give the 14.4.2rc2 a try: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sox/fil ... 14.4.2rc2/
SoX is very useful for batch processing duties. If you think you really really want to use it, and for whatever reason the windows builds crash win8, you could try installing Cygwin and run sox from there:
https://www.cygwin.com
Cygwin gives you a posix unix-like environment running in native windows. Download the setup exe, and you can configure it to install base components + sox (under the "Audio" category?). There are hundreds of optional components in cygwin... C compilers, text editors, SQL databases, etc. It takes a few minutes to download and install all the individual packages, but assuming cygwin doesn't have any win8 issues, it might be the way to go. The side benefit of using cygwin is it gives you a unix shell, which is much easier to deal with complex operations than windows shell IMO... e.g., for doing batch renaming operations, selective file processing, etc.
If you go that route I can give you some pointers to get going with unix shell, batch commands.
You need to limit that rez, bro.

I wanted to use some samples form my Ableton Packs on Padshop pro, converters keep giving me error trying to turn aif to wav. I didn't knew Ableton Pack samples have DRM .
Thanks anyway for the help, at least I now know where to look when in need.
