I've got a couple hundred megs of .wav samples that I want to convert to ogg's to save space.
Is there any freeware I can use to convert that many files all at one time?

also, just wondering but I'm pretty sure that ogg's are the format that takes up least space, right?

thanks

flowers,

some information is lost when you compress to ogg or mp3 (lossy formats). If you want to edit these sounds some day you can't recover what was lost. I wouldn't care much about if the source audio are voices for example, but for other sources you may consider flac as an alternative (half the size of Wav's)

About freeware you may read this: http://dobroide.googlepages.com/
A bit dated but may help, I guess Audacity is the best option

I'm not exactly an audiophile. I've never used Flac before, it seems too hi-fi for me. But Flac being half the size of wav's... maybe. dbPoweramp seems promising, I'll try it out. I think I'll use either .au or .ogg for my drumhit collection, then for the samples use flac.

thanks for the link

digifish.

Audacity is my fav freeb ie, but wont do them all at one time.

wavepad, batch processing, select the files and right click and the menu gives you "batch process with wavepad?" great tool
