does anybody on this forum know of any good audio conversion free downloads that are available. I want to convert some audio file such as m4a s to WAV or any other audio formats that work with Audacity.
Its annoying that there are free offers on the net that come with hidden gimmicks and I want to avoid these sites. .
If you add FFmpeg to your computer then Audacity will import M4A without you needing to convert the file to WAV. See http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_installation_and_plug_ins.html#ffdown.
Or try SuperPlayer http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html#Dnload or VLC http://www.videolan.org/vlc/.

Foobar2000 is an excellent, light-weight audio player that supports most audio formats. It also allows you to convert from one file type to another, and it is free (but not open source): http://www.foobar2000.org/
Lately, I’ve been using [u]TAudioConverter[/u] if I just want to convert files.
But as Gale says, you shouldn’t need to convert the files if you want to edit with Audacity… Just install ffmpeg.
