Mass converting mod files to MP3 on Windows
« on: December 16, 2022, 01:40:23 PM »
I would like to mass convert a number of Amiga mod files to MP3 on my PC. I tried OpenMPT, works great but has to be done one time at a time which is far from ideal.

Following that I tried WinLame but for some reason it gives me an error, something to do with the appropriate encoder not being found.

Anything else I could try? Thanks!

I used Windows Media Player, with mp3 plugin (encoder). Worked very well.

Thanks for your reply, I am sorry I wasn't specific, but I just found. Basically the conversion software has to support these:

.sfx
.it
.s3m
.mod
.xm

That should cover it. Thanks!

Try ZXTune https://zxtune.bitbucket.io/
It supports all those formats, and output direct to MP3. I'm not sure if you can batch convert with Windows though (there is a command line version but not sure if that's included for Windows)
