M4A to MP3 Converter

M4A to MP3 Converter is a program with a name that perfectly describes its functionality - it allows you to turn audio files from the M4A format to MP3.

The application comes with a user-friendly interface that allows you to import sound files by using either the file browser, "drag and drop" method or tree view (including or excluding subfolders). It offers the possibility to process files in batches.

Besides the name of the file, the file list provides details such as, source path, type, metadata information, audio properties, modification date and duration of each entry. The conversion operation can start immediately after defining the output folder, unless you have some audio settings of your own to make.

These include modifying the sample rate, channel mode and bits per seconds (everything can be restored to the default configuration, though). You can remove unidentifiable or duplicate files from the list as well as arrange items in the file queue, and thus prioritize their processing.

The program completes tasks in a reasonable amount of time and uses a low-to-moderate amount of system memory and CPU. It has a good response time and supports hotkeys for handling it from the keyboard.

Should you need indications for using a certain feature, the documentation that comes with it has the answer. We haven't come across any errors during our testing and M4A to MP3 Converter did not freeze or crash.

On the downside, you cannot preview audio tracks in a built-in player or enable M4A to MP3 Converter to automatically shut down the computer or to open the output directory once all tasks have been completed. Nevertheless, users of any level of experience can work with M4A to MP3 Converter.
