Best way to convert new sound files to wav?

[[FL] TheSiphon]

I have been looking for a way to convert new mp3 files to wav, but since there are 15 366 sound files, it's impossible to convert them with Audacity and similar things.
Anyone know any website/software that can be used to convert a file(s) full of mp3s to wav?

I don't know why, but the software wasn't working correctly. It gave bunch of error messages.

I heard from captain fuzzy he has Adobe audition if not mistaken can mass convert into wave file.

Quick question: For what reason is it impossible (without doing it file-by-file, of course)? Does Audacity crash when trying to load all of them at once or such?

Well as far as I know, you can only only convert one file at a time. So you need to repeat it 15000 times, so it's more about not having time and effort to do it.

Yes, Adobe Audition can 'batch convert', I can do an entire folder in one shot...
It takes a little while to complete, depending on how many individual sound files there are, but it will do all at once, if you wish.

Audacity can export individual tracks as individual files. If you then import multiple files, they will be different tracks, and then you can export them individually. (But I don't think it'll work at all with 15366 files, though, that's probably way too much for it to handle even just importing at the same time.)

I don't know if its been mentioned before in this thread, but, you can convert mp3's to WAV's in Premiere Pro, I did it for a lip sync test in SFM a while back, basically to do this, you;
Put in your mp3 file to Premiere
Go the Export menu by pressing CTRL+M
Then at the top, it should say the file format for the export (By default, I think its like H.264)
Change that to WAV and the look for the KHz part and change it to 44100KHz and keep it as a 16bit channel.

And that's how you do it in Premiere Pro, obviously, you can't do every single file at once, but it does work with one at a time.

Hopefully this helps.

Hmm, ya learn something new everyday.., lol.
I've used Premiere Pro for several years now and I never knew this.
I knew that you could export separate audio files, but didn't know you could change the format...
