Just wondering if anyone can steer me in the direction of a free, or cheap, wav to mp3 converting program. Hoping to spend some time before I come over converting some of my favourite songs from my numerous cd's before I make the journey over.
Thanks!

My students have done it for me - but using a freeware Chinese program. But there have to be English ones as well that you can download.

www.apple.com/itunesenough said. BTW, the default conversion is not set to mp3 but you can change that in the preferences. While you're at it, subscribe to the chinesepod podcasts.

Nolefan is his usual on-target self on this one.
I'm generally a bit contemptuous of Apple stuff, but I am a total convert to iTunes. It's great! I am listening to Radio Free Raoul on it now...and hope eventually to use it to bring the music to the Saloon.
iTunes can convert many formats so that you can listen to all of them on a single platform. I haven't used Windows Media Player in weeks, and I've finally been able to expunge the extremely-annoying RealPlayer from my system forever.
Give it a whirl. Highly recommended.

One step ahead of you, DS: the other night, while Raoul was off at the Kedi, I downloaded a ton of Slim Whitman and other yodelling legends... plus a few serious up-and-comers.  Then I messed up and mislabelled them all randomly. I'm sure he'll fix the names as he comes across them, then put them in a neat file folder for you.  |
