From there just click the Convert button and the chosen files will be converted to MP3 as desired.
You can create a new folder or you can choose an existing one. The next thing you need is to choose a folder from your computer where you will save the converted files. In fact, I find myself sampling and converting to mp3 a lot more indie stuff nowadays as the internet makes it so easy to find great and unique music. Step 3: Convert the windows media to MP3. For an FAQ for Audacity, you can find it here.īesides YouTube, audio recorders like Audacity are useful for recording snippets from podcasts and streamed internet radio, especially for niche indie content. Change the channels from 1(mono) to 2(stereo). To record in stereo (mono is default in Audacity), go to Edit->Preferences.
Otherwise you might be wondering why there is no line input. For Windows, this option can be found under My Computer->Control Panel->Sounds and Audio Device->Device Volume. Export to Wav, mp3 or org vorbis when done. If you want higher quality, just increase the sampling rate (default is 44.1Mhz). Just click the record button when the music is playing, and stop the record when the music ends. One that I highly recommend is the open source software Audacity, available for Windows, Mac and Linux. A friend asked me about this, so I thought it’s good to share in a post.
