Convert selected audio files into new local copies

Audio Converter is a local file tool for making a new copy in a different audio format. Choose individual files, an existing destination folder and one output format, then review proposed paths and conflicts before conversion. It does not scan folders automatically, replace the source, overwrite an existing destination file or edit a DJ library database.

The output settings are fixed by format so the result is predictable. MP3 outputs use 320 kbps at 44.1 kHz; WAV, AIFF and FLAC outputs use 16-bit audio at the source sample rate. Only mono and stereo inputs are supported. Converting a lossy file to a lossless container cannot restore information that was removed from the source.

Availability

This page previews one of nine focused tools planned for a single forthcoming Mac app. The tools are separate workflows inside that app, not browser utilities or nine separate downloads. A public download is not available, and no release date has been announced.

How it works

A clear, reviewable workflow

01

Select individual audio files

Choose supported files rather than folders; select a destination folder that already exists.

02

Preview format and output paths

Review each proposed filename and resolve any source, duplicate-selection or destination collision before writing.

03

Convert explicitly

Start conversion only after the preview is current. New outputs are written while source files remain unchanged.

Supported files and libraries

What you can use

Check the supported files and library requirements before choosing a tool.

Supported inputs
MP3, M4A, FLAC, WAV and AIFF
Supported outputs
MP3, WAV, AIFF and FLAC
Channels
Mono or stereo only; other layouts are blocked
Metadata
Title and artist where supported; cover art, cues, grids and custom tags are not guaranteed

Output settings

Output format Encoding and channel settings
MP3 320 kbps, 44.1 kHz; mono or stereo
WAV 16-bit PCM; preserve source sample rate and mono/stereo
AIFF 16-bit audio; preserve source sample rate and mono/stereo
FLAC 16-bit audio; preserve source sample rate and mono/stereo

Compatibility note

A conversion creates a different encoding; it does not improve the source audio or make a lossy file lossless in the quality sense. The tool writes new files, keeps the originals and refuses output collisions. Album artwork, cues, beat grids and custom metadata are not guaranteed to transfer.

Useful now

Compare common formats before converting

Choose a format for a clear compatibility or storage reason, and keep the original when you are unsure. Our guide explains practical differences between MP3 and WAV for DJs without promising that conversion improves sound.

Questions and answers

About Audio Converter

Can a WAV or AIFF conversion improve an MP3?

No. A larger or lossless output cannot restore audio information that was discarded in a lossy source. Convert only when a different format is useful for your workflow.

Does it convert whole folders?

No. The supported workflow selects individual regular audio files. It does not walk folders or silently include new files.

Will tags, artwork and cue points all transfer?

Title and artist tags are copied where the output format supports them. Cover art, cues, beat grids and custom metadata are not guaranteed, and the converter does not edit a DJ database.
