Switch Free Audio Converter and MP3 Converter is a freeware application from NCH which does what it says on the tin: More specifically, Switch Free Audio Converter and MP3 Converter converts audio file formats to MP3, OGG/Vorbis or WMA.
The 3.0 version of CD Audio MP3 Converter is available as a free download on our software library. The common filenames for the program's installer are AudioConverter.exe, ezcddax.exe or MP3. Free CD to MP3 Converter is an easy to use free CD ripper application that allows you to extract audio files from a CD and convert them to MP3, WAV, OGG or WMA format. It can automatically retrieve title information from the CDDB database, normalize the output files and it supports additional LAME options. In order to burn an audio CD from MP3s, they must first be converted to a non-compressed file format. XMMS can be used to convert to the WAV format, while mpg123 can be used to convert to the raw Pulse-Code Modulation (PCM) audio data format. To convert audio01.mp3 using mpg123, specify the name of the PCM file: # mpg123 -s audio01.mp3.
Within the neat interface, Switch allows for batch processing of the audio files it supports; the list of supported formats is surprisingly long. Once you've setup the files to be converted, users of Switch Free Audio Converter and MP3 Converter can apply different corrections, effects and filters to the files.
As of now, Switch can adjust volume (amplify, normalize), apply audio effects (Click/Pop reduction), noise reduction, dynamic range compression and equalize. A preview of effects is possible from the dialog box before applying the changes to the final output audio file.
Once the proper parameters are set, hit the 'Convert' button in the bottom-right of the interface and Switch Free Audio Converter and MP3 Converter will quickly and effortlessly convert the files you've added it it.

This section describes some MP3 players available for FreeBSD, how to rip audio CD tracks, and how to encode and decode MP3s.
A popular graphical MP3 player is Audacious. It supports Winamp skins and additional plugins. The interface is intuitive, with a playlist, graphic equalizer, and more. Those familiar with Winamp will find Audacious simple to use. On FreeBSD, Audacious can be installed from the multimedia/audacious port or package. Audacious is a descendant of XMMS.
The audio/mpg123 package or port provides an alternative, command-line MP3 player. Once installed, specify the MP3 file to play on the command line. If the system has multiple audio devices, the sound device can also be specified:
Additional MP3 players are available in the FreeBSD Ports Collection.
Before encoding a CD or CD track to MP3, the audio data on the CD must be ripped to the hard drive. This is done by copying the raw CD Digital Audio (CDDA) data to WAV files.
The cdda2wav tool, which is installed with the sysutils/cdrtools suite, can be used to rip audio information from CDs.
With the audio CD in the drive, the following command can be issued as root to rip an entire CD into individual, per track, WAV files:
In this example, the -D indicates the SCSI device 0,1,00,1,0 containing the CD to rip. Use cdrecord -scanbus to determine the correct device parameters for the system.
To rip individual tracks, use -t to specify the track:
To rip a range of tracks, such as track one to seven, specify a range:
To rip from an ATAPI (IDE) CDROM drive, specify the device name in place of the SCSI unit numbers. For example, to rip track 7 from an IDE drive:
Alternately, dd can be used to extract audio tracks on ATAPI drives, as described in Section 18.5.5, “Duplicating Audio CDs”.
Lame is a popular MP3 encoder which can be installed from the audio/lame port. Due to patent issues, a package is not available.

The following command will convert the ripped WAV file audio01.wavaudio01.mp3
The specified 128 kbits is a standard MP3 bitrate while the 160 and 192 bitrates provide higher quality. The higher the bitrate, the larger the size of the resulting MP3. The -h turns on the “higher quality but a little slower” mode. The options beginning with --t indicate ID3 tags, which usually contain song information, to be embedded within the MP3 file. Additional encoding options can be found in the lame manual page.
Mp3 To Audio Cd Track
In order to burn an audio CD from MP3s, they must first be converted to a non-compressed file format. XMMS can be used to convert to the WAV format, while mpg123 can be used to convert to the raw Pulse-Code Modulation (PCM) audio data format.
To convert audio01.mp3 using mpg123, specify the name of the PCM file:
To use XMMS to convert a MP3 to WAV format, use these steps:
Launch XMMS.
Right-click the window to bring up the XMMS menu.
Select
PreferencesunderOptions.Change the Output Plugin to “Disk Writer Plugin”.
Press
Configure.Enter or browse to a directory to write the uncompressed files to.
Load the MP3 file into XMMS as usual, with volume at 100% and EQ settings turned off.
Press
Play. The XMMS will appear as if it is playing the MP3, but no music will be heard. It is actually playing the MP3 to a file.When finished, be sure to set the default Output Plugin back to what it was before in order to listen to MP3s again.
Both the WAV and PCM formats can be used with cdrecord. When using WAV files, there will be a small tick sound at the beginning of each track. This sound is the header of the WAV file. The audio/sox port or package can be used to remove the header:
