Audio File Converter
Convert audio files between formats with precise control over bitrate, sample rate, channels, and quality for any output requirement.
Usage
Describe your source format and target requirements to receive conversion commands with optimal quality settings.
Examples
- "Convert a folder of FLAC files to 320kbps MP3 for portable listening"
- "Batch convert WAV recordings to AAC for podcast distribution"
- "Transcode 96kHz/24bit studio masters to 44.1kHz/16bit for CD quality"
Guidelines
- Use FFmpeg or SoX for reliable command-line batch conversion
- Never convert between lossy formats as quality degrades with each re-encoding
- Use FLAC for archival as it is lossless and smaller than WAV
- Set MP3 to 320kbps VBR for the best quality in a universally compatible format
- Verify sample rate conversion quality by comparing spectrograms before and after
