Hi,

For various reasons, I need a nice and simple piece of software which will do conversion from MPx (2 or 3) to WAV (PCM, 44.1KHz, 16 bit). I don't need anything fancy - ideally it should be drag and drop (if Windows) or command line (Lin/Win) and default to putting new files in the same directory as the existing ones with the same filename (but different extension, obviously).

All that I've found have been designed to do much more than I actually need them to and, as a consequence, are too fiddly.

Any ideas?

Cheers and apologies for posting this here - it's the only place I know which may have the right answers!!

Nicholas.

Earlier versions of Winamp could do this.
Select the discwriter plugin, and the WAV files will come to you.
I used this before any cd writer programs would let you burn music cd's on the fly.

Haven't used this feature of Winamp for a while but I think it should still work.

easy cd-da comes with a file converter program. it has a big window that says "drag files here" and a convert button. just drag the files into the window and hit convert

mpg321:

 outfile mpg321 -w outfile (file|URL|-)

should do. You could even make a short shell-script:

#!/bin/bash

#untested!

mpg321 -w `basename $1`.wav $1

I use "lame --decode". It's only a command-line tool, but it works quite well.
