Audio Transcoder is unique thanks to the rich library of supported formats. At present, it can work with over 20 file formats, such as MP3, AAC, AC3, WMA, APE, AIFF, WAV, FLAC, M4A, MAC, MP+, MP1, MP2, MP3, MP4, MPC, MPP, OFR, SPX, TTA, WAV, WV and Ogg-Vorbis. The authors regularly add support for new formats, making the audio converter a universal tool to convert audio and rip CD music.

Downloading music from the Internet , or ripping CD music tracks is part of the daily life for most anyone. Over the years, users collect hundreds if not thousands of audio files that come in different file formats and in the course of time the media collection starts to resemble a soup. This can be inconvenient if you want to upload files to a mobile handset or an MP3 player as these devices support only a limited list of audio formats (MP3, WMA, AAC, FLAC). This is where Audio Transcoder with its conversion to 20+ formats can extend a helping hand. Audio Transcoder is also ideal for converting audio for portable devices like cell phones, or iPods. You can rip your favorite music tracks from a CD disk, convert them to MP3 and upload into the cell phone or PDA. This will keep you entertained when you have time to spare, standing in a line, or taking a bus trip. Converted audio can also make great ringtones for your mobile phone, or can be used in media presentations and projects.
