Best MP3 Converter for High-Quality Audio?

[timothyronald]

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a reliable MP3 converter that maintains high audio quality.

I have a mix of FLAC and WAV files that I need to convert to MP3 (320kbps) for easier storage and playback.

I’d prefer something free or reasonably priced, easy to use, and doesn’t add unnecessary compression artifacts.

Are there any specific software or online tools you’d recommend? Also, do any of them support batch conversion?

Any insights or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

I highly recommend Audacity bro'.

Back in the day you had to install the L.A.M.E. codec manually but I've a sneaking suspicion that these days it'll be included with the installation 'cause both it and Audacity are free.

iTunes is a good example of quality's being sacrificed for speed (I can easily hear HF loss and transient smearing), but Audacity using L.A.M.E., 320k CBR & "normal" stereo can fool just about anyone including myself, so I reckon it's fantastic.

Highly recommend converting to 24bit M4A instead of 16 bit MP3. Still a much smaller file than WAV or FLAC but better sound quality. If you're converting to 16 bit you'll need a program that will add dithering to reduce some of the noise artifacts. If you're on a Mac you should be able to do this stuff on Garageband (though I can't confirm- I use Logic Pro, but Garageband is a free and simplified version of Logic).
