Switch? Is this the mac version of the windows audio conversion tool? I never new it was on mac or accessible. If there was a usable version of there video conversion software prism video converter on mac, I'd be putting up my cash this second. So far, hand break is the only way I know of to co

Actually, vlc does some converting but I've never completely figured it out. I've used switch to do some converting and it can convert whole directories, etc. I think I got it online rather than on the mac store but not sure. If I have some time I'll go look for the info. -- Cheryl May the wor

You and I agree completely. Have you looked at Cog as a player? It's pretty cool actually. I wish, though, that they would add cross fading to Cog's functionality. Now that would be nice-especially since Cog allows ENQUEUE. I wish VLc did ENQUEUE. It doesn't seem to do that though. I fric

Honestly, I like VLC more than most other media players. It's so much better on Mac than on PC. The cost is brilliant as well. :-) I really don't like programs that forcibly add anything I listen to to my library. There's stuff I want to listen to and then discard or keep archived so add this

You should be able to convert them to mp3 once you pull them into iTunes. I put some stuff up on this list about how to do that back in 2009. Let me paste it again here: The XiphQT only gives flac playback capability. I added the flac_import component and was able to open and play a flac file.

Yep, WMA, AAC, Flac, ogg and a bunch more. It isn't as cheep as I thought though. In the Australian store, it's $6.50 or so so I would guess, $5.99 in the US. Still, in my opinion, nothing for such a handy tool as this. Danny: On 15/01/2013, at 8:55 AM, Ray Foret Jr wrote: > Now that is good

VLC as far as I know is only a media player, not converter. It certainly plays .ogg files. I use Amadeus pro for most conversions but that's an expensive tool for just doing that. I just installed a cheep app the other day called RightClickMp3 I can't remember how much it was but it wasn't much.

Just to add to this, I love vlc. It's set up as my default media player for most media formats so I can keep my iTunes library clean as theirs now no way to play items in iTunes and not add them to your library. Also, you can easily set output device and it works with the apple remote. Sent
