Audio Commander Product Details

AudioCommander is a fast and highly configurable command-line and interface converter, encoder, and decoder for nearly all conceivable audio formats. Settings are provided for bitrate, frequency, channels, and more. Convert from CD, WAV, MP3, WMA, OGG, AAC, AC3, AMR, 3GP, AIFF, AU, VOX, RAW, GSM, ADPCM, A-LAW, u-LAW, g726, g721, g723, MPC, MP+, MOV, QT, AVI audio, etc. to MP3, WMA, WAV, OGG, AAC, AC3, AMR, AIFF, ADPCM, A-LAW, u-LAW, DSP, GSM, or VOX with ease. AudioCommander can also be used to change the compression for supported formats; for example, compressing a 320 kbps MP3 to 128 kbps for use in a hardware device that requires a specific setting or does not support the higher bitrates. The comprehensive range of supported formats makes the software very flexible, and provides a complete solution for conversion of most any audio file desired. AudioCommander offers an extensive array of settings and command-line switches for complete control over how the software functions.

The software provides a comprehensive range of frequencies and bitrates. When disk space is an issue, such as for portable audio players, select a lower bitrate to conserve space. Otherwise, when audio quality is a must, select one of the higher settings. Furthermore, Constant Bitrate (CBR) options are available for the best compatibility with both hardware and software MP3 players, and Variable Bitrate (VBR) is also provided for further optimized file sizes.

All conversions are performed directly from the source format to the output format, which increases overall conversion speed and eliminates a possibility for potential quality loss. The ability to automatically transfer audio tags from the source format to the conversion output files is also available.

With AudioCommander, the possibilities are vast. Convert from WAV to MP3, MP3 to WAV, WMA to MP3, OGG to WMA, CD to MP3, and dozens of other combinations among the various supported formats.

Added to all the technical capabilities of AudioCommander, one of the major advantages of using it is ease of use. Significant care was taken to ensure the software's interface and command-line support are very easy to use, yet without sacrificing the powerful functionality. Conversions can be performed on an entire folder of files simply by passing the folder name to the /f switch for command-line support or using the Add Folder command via the interface. For command-line, wildcards and comma delimited filenames are also supported. Even multiple paths can be separated by a comma, or any combination of filename(s), paths, and wildcards. Furthermore, when converting a path, you can specify a switch or interface option for all subfolders of the passed folder to also be included. Additional built-in options include: error logging, the ability to automatically use the source file's path for conversion output, overwriting of existing files or overwrite protection (to append a unique numeric value to the end of the base filename for existing files), deletion of source file(s) after successful conversion, FreeDB support when ripping from CD, and more.
