Fast Audio Converter 1.6

What do you do when you have an MP3 file, but you need a APE file instead? Or when you have a WAV file and need an OGG file instead? The answer to this question is quite simple: you do what I always do. And what I always do is turn to software and see if there is an application out there that can lend a helping hand.

An application that could prove to be useful in this situation is Fast Audio Converter. The functionality this application provides is obvious from its name – Fast Audio Converter can convert audio files from one format to another. Here’s something that is not obvious from the application’s title: it provides support for some of the most popular audio formats out there – this means WMA, MP3, OGG Vorbis, APE, FLAC, and WAV.

Here is something else that is not obvious from the application’s name: the functionality that Fast Audio Converter provides is never more than one click away. This is because the application integrates with Windows Explorer. This means you can right click a file and easily access Fast Audio Converter and convert that file to another format.

Before you go get Fast Audio Converter and put it to the test, take a look at the following technical bits and pieces:
Download – the download weighs in at some 21MB. On a less than spectacular internet connection, it may take a lot of time to get Fast Audio Converter off the web and onto your computer.
