Main Features:

Batch conversion

Add all files you want, select the output format and click Start – the program takes care of the rest.

Support for lossless formats

You can directly convert one lossless format to another, without intermediate conversion. For example, you can turn FLAC to Apple Lossless supported by most Apple devices.

Automatic CUE splitting

The program locates .CUE files in the folder and suggests splitting the image to individual tracks if some are found.

Search for disk covers

If a file contains ID3 tags but lacks the cover art image, the program tries to retrieve one using several Internet services.

iTunes/Music.app support

Apple fans will admire the option to add converted files directly to iTunes/Music.app multimedia library. You can also choose a specific playlist.

Retain folder structure

Command the program to keep the folder structure when running the conversion. A must-have option for those who store music in the Artist/Album/Title folder structure.

Dark mode

The app now supports the Dark theme and automatically selects it if it's set on the system.

Advanced file naming

You can name the converted files using ID3 tag information. Folder creation is also supported.

Effects

Volume normalization, fade in, fade out, silence trimming, and that's just the beginning.

Testimonials:

  • Thank you MediaHuman - you are the only fast and reliable WMA to MP3 converter I've found - you just made my life a whole lot easier! Janine Charles
  • I have been using SoundConverter on my OSX-Lion iMac but it wasn't doing a satisfactory job on FLAC files. MediaHuman is fast and does two files at once! Superior to SoundConverter! Mark S Ver Steeg
  • The audio converter app works perfectly-i finally found a freeware to convert FLAC to Apple lossless and keep the tags. Branden Baxley
  • man i am loving this program i am using media human audio converter and i am convertings 186 music files it has taken less than 5 minutes usually the other programs i use if i was doing this it would take about an hour to an hour and a half this programs is the best. Mina Armanious
  • Hey! The software is awesome. It took me so long to find an audio converter that wasnt crammed full of useless, superfluous features that I couldn't possible care about. Euan
  • Wanted to convert some audio files. Used MediaHuman today after struggling with several other apps and tools for the past 4 days. Gosh! Can't tell you what a relief it is to get the job done so easily as I had thousands of sound clips. Thank you guys!!! Divya Raghuram
  • I am converting thousands of iTunes files to .ogg so I can take my show on the road with Traktor. UR the only 1 that works! DJ-KT
  • Thanks for the fantastic audio converter! I have a number of AACs that I needed to make to MP3 and this is doing it perfectly... thanks again! Dustin Hamilton
  • First of all, I love your audio converter. I have used it to successfully convert most of my FLAC collection to ALAC in order for it to be playable on my Ipod. It's all quite intuitive, I love it! Rory
  • I just wanted to thank you for this software's existence - I used to use QuickTime 7 (and it was clunky!) to convert audio, but when Apple made it slightly harder to get QuickTime Pro I sought out MediaHuman Audio Converter, and have never looked back. It's saved me plenty of times. Thanks! Josh W.
  • That is a truly great product, much better than Switch, which I thought too expensive to pay for. I know it is freeware, but couldn't resist a small donation when I saw how beautifully written the software was. Thank you. Jim S.
  • I have been using your product for a couple years now. I just wanted to tell you folks how much I like it. It is absolutely my goto software for any media conversion. I don't have any money to contribute, but I wanted you guys to know how much I appreciate your software. Thank you very much. Mathew M.
  • The best WMA to MP3 converter, period. I have more than 10Gb of WMA files to convert to MP3. Your software is just making it a breeze. Having struggled with all the major "recommended" freewares available, I can say without a doubt that yours is just the best for the task. Many thanks from France. Arnaud
  • Hi Folks, I just wanted to let you know that your Audioconverter is truly excellent. The GUI is simple and selfexplaining, very clever! Also thanks for implmenting CBR at 320kbps. I converted AIFF files to mp3 and they sound much better than converted with my old iTunes. The mp3s sound loud, clear, fresh and have a punchy bass. Heavy recommendation guaranteed :-) Ernst M.
  • I just want to congratulate you for the MediaHuman Audio Converter. Variety of choices for audio quality, file extension type and multiple cpu core choice. And checkbox for adding to iTunes while converting. Genius. You saved me from hours of waiting. Well done. Maximos H.
  • I have to say that this converter, is by far THEE best i have ever used. i had to use this in exchange for the built in iTunes converter because it would chop songs into 0:23 seconds after they were converted and that obviously wasn't the whole song. your converter has done its justice to the sh*tty apple conversion and hence, why i'm writing this review because it's so damn fast AND it also converts as many files as needed with no ads or requiring a license! it's truly and awesome freeware program!! :) Nic

  • Downloaded this morning to convert a batch of files, 680+, from WMA to MP3. As a bit of background I started developing software over 40 years ago, which makes me rather picky about how software works. Just wanted to let you know that I am more than pleasantly surprised, this is a great piece of software. I had spent about 3 hours trying other products prior to finding yours, and by far yours is the most full featured and easy to use. Just wanted to drop you a "thank you", I was looking for a place to leave a review for you, please let me know if there is a place you would like me to leave one. Thanks! Bill D.
  • MediaHuman Audio Converter is brilliant. It's so good to find really well developed software - so intuitive and therefore a pleasure to use. I've been looking at audio converters for a while now and not found anything that comes even close to your great product. I've been involved in software development all my life and rarely see software that gets the user's experience 'just right' Audio Converter does exactly that. Congratulations. John
  • Thank you so much for a great product! I have 2000 CDs that I downloaded to a hard drive as FLAC files. I have been searching for a way to add them to iTunes so that I can get them on my iPhone, and after trying 5 other FLAC to MP3 converters, yours is the first one that does it all! Cover art, automatic add to iTunes, and conversion. And it's fast! I'm delighted and was happy to make a financial contribution to you. I hope everyone finds your product! Wahhab
  • This is a superlative program. Simple, fast, powerful, intuitive, unlimited capacity, and free. It doesn't get better. Bravo to the team. Leon L.
  • The new version of MediaHuman Audio Converter for Apple Silicon is great! It runs fast and smoothly on my MacBook with M1 chip, providing high performance and excellent quality of audio file conversion. I'm so impressed. Thanks to the development team for this update! Chuck B.
  • I just wanted to say thank you for such a useful piece of software, bloat free, simple and versatile audio toolbox. You guys rock. David Y.
