Software to convert 24/96 wav to aif?

[harrypt]

Well, subject says it all... what is the best way to convert 24/96 wav to aif? I've found a number of programs but they either won't do that particular conversion or won't retain the 24/96.

How about iTunes?

 

Add the wav file to iTunes.

 

Go to import settings and choose AIFF, then right click the song and "Convert to AIFF".

Try max.

Sbooth.org or use xld. Look at this thread http://www.computeraudiophile.com/content/XLD-0

This is for mac.

... converts the 24/96 wav files to aiff but drops the 8 bits (24 bits -> 16 bits), while doing the conversion. I use XLD.

Itunes - I just checked and you are correct. When converting files to AIFF for some reason iTunes does downsample to 16Bit. However you can convert 24Bit wav to 24Bit ALAC without any problem.

OK, I should have been more specific. I'm trying to do this on Windows platform and AIF must be the final container.

 

Sorry for the confusion.

My fave by a mile - all sorts of goodies including a good label editor - but only for PC - I use on a PC then move to my Mac.

blueixus: Now that's the kind of concise and correct answer I was looking for! Thank you. Seems to do exactly what I needed.

I first make sure all metadata is correct. Neither WAV nor AIFF is a good format for this...so:

1) Convert WAV to FLAC (DBPowerAmp)

2) Use MP3TAG to get all FLAC tags correct, album art embedded, etc (MP3TAG is a very simple program that uses Amazon, etc to find tags and album art).

3) Convert FLAC to AIFF (DBPoweramp)

4) Load onto Mac

 

And it's Batch Converter is great too.

If you're on a Mac Max (http://sbooth.org/Max/) works great.

I believe iTunes can even do this conversion now and keep 24 bits.

Slightly off topic, but any downside to just leaving them as .WAV? Is AIFF better than WAV? Itunes supports both.

Hi Chris,

I just checked my ver. of iTunes (9.0.2) and there is no 24 bit option. Probably because I'm running Mac OS 10.4.11 and iTunes requires OS 10.5 or a Mac with a Intel cpu. Oh well I'm still happy.

You're absolutely right. I should have done the conversion before speaking.

 

Leaving the files in WAV is totally fine sonically. You won't have any album art though.

When your business grows bigger, you definitely need accounting software.software accounting can be a very valuable tool to a company as it saves time and cuts cost. Moreover, good software can help you track sales, costs, payroll and other important figures of your company. With good software, you do not need to hire an accounting staff to do your accounts.
