This software utility lets you convert WAV audio files to MP3.

WAV To MP3 is a free and easy to use WAV to MP3 converter. WAV To MP3 is capable of decoding various codec like LPCM, float point PCM, u-Law, A-Law, ADPCM, GSM, G721 etc. It supports 8/16/24/32 bit integer and 32/64 bit float point WAV files. It does a on-the-fly conversion into MP3 directly. There is no intermediate steps to follow. That helps make the process faster. What makes the converter even faster is the use of SSE/Hyper thread technology and it is possible to get significant speed up when there is a multi-core processor available on the machine. This converter is a batch mode tool and can handle a large number of file conversions at a time. The interface is quite intuitive and simple to use. The interface is well laid out, making it easy to use; even a complete beginner should be able to start using it quickly.

Additional features that help are the dual progress bar and the log display area. Once you start the conversion having created the batch list, a pop up starts showing the two progress bars and the log area. One bar shows the progress of individual items while the second bar shows the progress of the overall batch. The log area throws up messages that tell you which specific file is taken up and what’s happening on it. This tool would be a good choice when you want to convert WAV recordings, making them suitable for all kinds of players that most often play MP3.
