15.1 Audio Converter
NeoFinder is able to convert your song files into other formats now!
This only works if ffmpeg is installed and working, you will get an error message otherwise.
Select one or multiple song files, and use the Convert Audio… command in the context menu or the Item menu.
NeoFinder will show you the settings window for the conversion parameters to be used for all selected songs.
Select all settings with care, as they greatly influence the output, of course.
The File Format currently contains the usual suspects, .mp3, .m4a (AAC), AIFF, Apple Lossless, WAVE, but also FLAC, OGG, and Apples CAF (Core Audio Format).
The Audio Bitrate allows you to specify the bitrate you need, from 32K to 256K. The larger the value, the better the result. Some formats allow VBR (variable bit rate), if they do, that option is active as well.
The Sample Rate allows you to specify the sample rate, which is only available for some file formats.
The Number of Channels currently allows 1 (mono) and 2 (stereo). If you need more, please contact us.
Copy metadata will copy the entire metadata from the original file to the new song file for you.
The Convert button will cause NeoFinder to ask you for the location folder in which the converted file(s) are to be placed. The newly created music files with use the same name as the original files, but of course with a different file name suffix, depending on the file format you have selected.
Once confirmed, the audio conversion will start. And of course, it will work completely in the background, so you can continue working with NeoFinder while the conversion takes place.
