wav to mp3 converter?

Does anyone have a good suggestion for a free mp3 to wav converter? The trial ran out on the one we had, and I don't feel like paying $14 to register a program I rarely use.

iTunes *text*

preferences > advanced > importing. Set the format to Wav, and then you're done. It also has aiff, AAC, and mp3, and you can import from any one to another.

Lame

I'm sure there are plenty of frontends for it, but I only use it from the command line. There is no better free encoder.

CDex can do wav <-> mp3 conversion, but it sucks as a CD ripper (what it is meant for.) For CD ripping I mainly use Exact Audio Copy or iTunes.

There has to be a plugin for winamp.

Yeah, just use the WaveOut plugin that comes with it.

OGG > MP3

You can use dBpowerAMP. I'd link you to an older version that doesn't have the automatic power pack crap, but my server seems to have gone down.

You could, if you want almost no control over quality and nothing even close to the full range of quality you could get by using something such as the free LAME MP3 encoder. <img src=smilies/magbiggrin.gif>

LAME is very good as MP3 encoders go...if you want an easy to use frontend for it, go get something like the easy to use program Audiograbber (which is also free). I generally use it as my CD ripping program.

If you're looking for MP3 to WAV conversion, try WinAmp's DiskWriter plugin (should come with one, if not all, of the free packages).

If you're looking for WAV to MP3 encoding instead, then as someone else has already mentioned, LAME is a good choice. If you don't want to fool with command lines though, you'll want a front-end of some sort for it.
