Product Description:

Awave Audio is a the easiest way to convert between different audio file formats.
  • Do conversions from the about 60 audio file formats that it can read into any of the 30 or so audio file formats that it writes!
  • Supports the many popular compressed sound formats via free add-ons; e.g. OGG, WMA, RA, MP2, MP3 (Constant, Variable or Average Bit Rate modes).
  • A 3-step procedure makes converting large numbers of audio files extremely simple!
  • You can do optional effects processing using up to 4 DirectShow effect filters (a.k.a. DirectX Plug-ins) as well as built in functions such as resampling and silence removal.
  • 24-bit multi-channel audio supported!

What's new in this version:

  • Added support for writing the new Windows Media 9 Format files (this requires the Windows Media 9 runtime to be installed - available from the download page on our web site!). This includes support for 2-pass CBR (constant bit-rate) as well as 1-pass VBR (quality based variable bit-rate) and 2-pass constrained VBR (a.k.a. ‘average bit-rate’ encoding). You can also use external ‘profiles’ (.prx files) for things such as MBR (mutual bit-rate exclusion) and other kinds of multi-stream files. All the current codecs are supported: Windows Media Audio 9, Windows Media Audio 9 Professional, Windows Media Audio 9 Lossless, Windows Media Audio 9 Voice, and ACELP.net. Plus, there’s support for writing older Windows Media Audio 4 format WMA files. NB, Windows Media Audio 9 Professional multi-channel audio is only supported on Windows XP (and later).
  • Added support for reading the audio portion of any ASF and WMV file (also requires the Windows Media 9 runtime).
  • Added ‘5.1/6.1/7.1 surround’ selections to the output channel format list for many formats.
  • The icon to the left of files in the input file list now indicates 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5.1, or 6.1+ channels of audio.
  • Added support for writing MPEG audio layer II (a.k.a. MP2) subformat .WAV files (requires the TooLame.dll add-on).
  • Added support for reading and writing Broadcast Wave Files (.BWF).
  • Files with extension .ALW and .ULW are now recognized as raw A-Law and mu-Law format files.
  • Added a ‘Fade’ option to the ‘trim length’ function - which performs a 250ms fade out at the trim point.
  • Added support for writing NIST SPHERE files (Usually .NIST).
  • The previous “Normalize RMS” option has been renamed “Normalize RMS of Amplitudes” and a new “Normalize RMS of the Power” option has been added.
  • Added detection of .VAG files with missing ‘VAGp’ header id.
  • It is now possible to pass preset files (.aap) on the command line.
  • Added a context menu when you click on a file in the input file list.
  • Fixed a bug where writing .GSM formats did not work.
  • Fixed another bug with loop points not being adjusted correctly when audio is resampled.

and I do need the functionality, but for this price tag I'm going to look elsewhere. I would pay $20 but no more, although if you do tons of converting and have money to spend where $50 is not a factor... I'll stick to WMP9 for now for CDA extraction and MP3 VBR for wav/aiff's
