What it does
Switch Audio File Converter converts common audio formats and extracts audio from video. It also offers normalization, effects, metadata handling, and conversion previews.
Preview a converted track after applying effects or normalization before sending a whole batch through the same settings. Playlist import can help select an existing listening set. The free version is specifically for non-commercial use and covers common formats, so a business workflow or specialist format should be checked against the paid offering.
For a batch compression task, drag the tracks into Switch, select the desired bitrate, then convert. MP3 can use constant or variable bitrate; WAV and FLAC expose sample-rate choices. The page describes conversion as offline and offers Windows and Mac editions plus separate Android and Chromebook routes. It explicitly says no signup is needed for the non-commercial free version; commercial use remains a separate entitlement.
