MP3 Converter for high-quality audio conversion
Fast, high-quality MP3 conversion for all popular audio formats
Convert audio between MP3, M4A, AAC, Apple Lossless, FLAC, WAV, DSD and dozens of other formats with ease. EZ CD Audio Converter is a high-performance MP3 converter capable of encoding large music collections quickly while preserving excellent sound quality, metadata and album artwork.
Powered by the industry-leading LAME MP3 encoder
EZ CD Audio Converter uses the official LAME MP3 encoder, widely recognized for producing high-quality MP3 audio. Convert FLAC to MP3, WAV to MP3, M4A to MP3, AAC to MP3, Apple Lossless to MP3 and CD to MP3 with reliable, compatible output for phones, car stereos, portable players and music libraries.
Gapless MP3 conversion for albums and live recordings
Gapless encoding and decoding helps preserve continuous playback for live albums, DJ mixes, classical recordings and albums where tracks flow into each other without silence or clicks between songs.
Convert audio to MP3 with Professional audio quality
EZ CD Audio Converter uses an ultra-precise 64-bit floating-point audio engine, high-quality sample rate conversion and built-in codecs to process audio accurately before MP3 encoding. High-resolution sources such as 24-bit FLAC and studio WAV files are processed with high precision before they are converted to MP3.
Conversions between compressed formats, such as AAC to MP3 or MP3 to M4A, are performed using high-resolution processing to retain the highest audio fidelity possible during transcoding.
Convert FLAC, WAV, M4A, AAC and CDs to MP3
Convert audio files to MP3 in a few clicks. Add individual files, complete albums or full music folders, choose MP3 as the output format and select the quality setting you need. Batch conversion is designed for both single tracks and large music libraries.
- Convert FLAC to MP3 for portable players, phones and car audio
- Convert WAV to MP3 for smaller files and wide compatibility
- Convert M4A, AAC and Apple Lossless to MP3
- Convert audio tracks from video files to MP3
- Convert MP3 to WAV, FLAC, M4A, AAC, Opus and other formats
Metadata tags and album artwork are preserved during conversion. Folder structure can be retained, or new folder names and file names can be generated automatically from metadata tags such as artist, album, track number and title.
Rip Audio CDs to MP3 with secure ripping
Convert Audio CDs to high-quality MP3 files with the built-in Audio CD Ripper. Secure CD ripping with advanced error detection and two-pass CRC verification helps create accurate digital copies of your original CDs.
Read and preserve CD-Text, ISRC, UPC/EAN, pre-gap information and pre-emphasis data. Detailed ripping logs make it easier to verify the result of each CD extraction.
CD Burning Made Easy
Burn high-quality Audio CDs complete with CD-Text from virtually any audio format. Create standard Audio CDs, MP3 discs and data discs for easy music storage and playback.
Ready for all devices
Once converted, MP3 files are ready for smartphones, tablets, portable media players, car stereo systems, music servers and general playback software. MP3 remains one of the most widely compatible audio formats for everyday listening.
Lossless audio with FLAC
FLAC is ideal for creating bit-for-bit accurate archives of CDs and high-resolution music. EZ CD Audio Converter makes it easy to keep a lossless FLAC archive and create MP3 listening copies for portable use.
Why use desktop MP3 converter software?
Online MP3 converters are useful for a few small files, but desktop MP3 converter software is better for large folders, private music libraries, high-resolution sources, secure CD ripping and advanced output settings. Your files stay on your computer, and you control quality, tags, filenames and output folders.

Built-in Audio Codecs for High-Quality MP3 Conversion
All audio codecs are included with the software. There is no need to download codecs from other sources.
All audio codecs operate in high-resolution mode using 32-bit floating-point or better accuracy. Hi-res processing ensures that there is no additional quantization or dithering noise when converting from high-resolution sources, such as 24-bit FLAC to MP3, or when transcoding between lossy formats, such as MP3 to AAC.
Lossy and DSD codecs
| Encoder | Input bit depth | Encoder precision |
|---|---|---|
| AAC-LC & HE-AAC (v2) | 32-bit floating point | 32-bit floating point |
| xHE-AAC | 32-bit floating point | 32-bit floating point |
| MP3 | 32-bit floating point | 32-bit floating point |
| DSD | 32-bit floating point | 64-bit floating point |
| Vorbis | 32-bit floating point | 32-bit floating point |

Lossless Audio Conversion for FLAC, WAV, ALAC and AIF
All lossless PCM codecs such as FLAC, WAV, Apple Lossless, AIFF, APE, AU, TTA, and W64, preserve the source bit-depth (up to 64-bit floating point) by default ("Auto" mode) unless the desired output bit-depth is not explicitly configured. Use FLAC for lossless archiving and convert FLAC to MP3 when you need smaller, widely compatible files.
