Audio File Formats

2014-02-02 Thread Dane Trethowan
I'm constantly amazed at what Google turns up. Found a place that sell FLaC formatted tracks and albumes rather than MP3, AAC=/M4A etc so that means I can purchase music and hear it as it was meant to sound, CD quality and above are available. I'm now listening to the classic album Hotel Califo

Hey Listers, I just wanted to take time to say thanks to a kind person on this list by the name of Humberto who told me about SONGR. If you want a good and reliable converter of files from Youtube, then this is definitely the ticket. I might have been a little disappointed with a small few of

2014-02-02 Thread Joe
In reading the recent posts, It seems most agree that M4A IS THE MOST SPACE SAVING WITH STILL GOOD AUDIO. is that correct? I know there's no free lunch and you must give up something to get something in audio, but what do you guys think is the best. This may be a dangerous question to ask and I

Hey /Tom, Do you know where the converted files are supposed to go? When I installed it, they were set by default to go to the Music folder, and I just left it that way for the present to test it out. But that's in Windows Vista, that may be different for different operating systems. But you ca

If you hit the alt key to go into the menus, just before the Open Output Folder, the first item is Add File(s). Go into that dialogue box and then tab over to where the folders are with your audio files, CDs or whatever. Go into whichever folder that has files you want to convert and select them
