Portable BatchEncoder

If you have several audio files on your computer, you've probably wanted to find a way of converting multiple ones to different formats at the same time.

In the situation mentioned above, specialized software solutions such as Portable BatchEncoder can help you perform the desired task and yield satisfactory results with ease. It's a graphical interface for several command-line codecs, such as LAME MP3, SSRC and Musepack.

This is the portable version of the BatchEncoder app. As its name suggests, this application enables you to convert several audio files from your computer to various formats in a quick, efficient manner. You only need to load the files you want to convert, adjust a few parameters and you're ready to go.

It is possible to import individual files from your computer or feed the app entire folders' worth of items, depending on your needs. You also need to define an output path, if you don't want to use the default one, provided by the app.

Fortunately, Portable BatchEncoder features support for a broad range of formats, including AAC, AC3, ALAC, APE, FLAC, LA, MMA, M4A, MP3, MP4, MPC, OFR, OGG, TAK, WAV and WV. These can be selected from the "Formats" combo menu in the main window.

Most formats come with predefined profiles. For example, if you want to convert your file to FLAC, you can select from 9 compression levels, where 0 is the fastest (and the worst quality) and 8 preserves the most quality.

Given that it is portable, you don't need to install this app on your computer, as simply unpacking the archive it comes in and launching the executable grants you entire control of its features.

You can run it from removable media storage such as USB flash drives or external HDDs. It doesn't tamper with any of your Windows' registry entries and doesn't create any additional files or folders on your PC without your explicit permission.

All things considered, if you're looking for an effective way to convert multiple audio files from your PC to various formats, you might consider using Portable BatchEncoder, since it supports a large array of formats and can perform the tasks without a hiccup.
