Im going to be talking about audio conversion in this post, but thats just one of the many things Foobar can do.

It should be noted that Im using the latest beta version of Foobar (9.6 Beta 3) which you can download here.

The first thing youll want to do is find a song you want to convert.

Right click your song and click Convert You should see the image below if you are using the latest version of Foobar.

Click the drop down menu under Output format and choose MP3 (LAME).

For the name format, track would be the track number of your songs, title would be the song name, album would be the album, etc.

Foobar will ask you to locate lame.exe.

If you dont have this, you can download it here.

Now Ill show you how to convert to FLAC, the Free Lossless Audio Codec.

It is a great thing to convert any.WAV files you have, as they will be the same quality, just a smaller size.

Find the songs you want to convert, right click, click convert, and choose FLAC instead of MP3 this time.

Click OK again and you will be asked to locate flac.exe.

You can download an installer for FLAC here.

Once this is installed, the flac executable you are looking for will be in a FLAC folder in your Program Files folder.

NOTE: Youll only want to encode.wav or uncompressed audio files using FLAC.

Encoding MP3 or OGG files to flac will not increase their quality, it will just result in a much larger file size.

One last format you may want to think about converting to is OGG Vorbis.

Which is an open source lossy audio format, like MP3, that can be a much higher quality.

Follow the previous the steps and choose OGG Vorbis from the drop down menu.

It will ask you to find oggenc.exe.

You can download that here.

Extract the contents of the zip you get somewhere, I like putting it in my Program Files, and rename it to just oggenc.exe.

Now Open it in Foobar and it will start encoding.

To save time in the future, you can go to Foobars preferences by pressing Ctrl P, clicking the sign by the Tools entry, and clicking on Converter.

Just click on the file type, click Edit, set it to what you want, and click OK.

I think Foobar is a powerful application everyone should at least try.
