Hi Richard, I saw this post from Google when I was trying to find a solution to bulk convert wav to mp3 on my computer but the page is no longer available. Can you check what happened?

Thanks

The other methods are for commercial tools...

This is a universal, and free method using ffmpeg library:

ffmpeg -i inputfile.wav -ab 320k outputfile.mp3

From: https://gist.github.com/dominicthomas/52e610c9cd4083408371

Although ChatGPT suggested this

ffmpeg -i input.wav -codec:a libmp3lame -qscale:a 2 output.mp3

If you don't have ffmpeg, you can install with https://brew.sh

I use the free online converter for that. https://www.freeconvert.com/wav-to-mp3

I use a free Mac app called Adapter. I can convert Image, Audio and Video files to a variety of formats. Its got a good Mac-like UI and has some options for export. Its great, been using for years without issue. I do multimedia for a living so I'm doing format conversions all the time

A great piece of software I use every day is called MediaHuman Audio Converter.

It's a well done audio file converter without any upsell or adware or other nonsense. Did I mention it's cross platform and free?

I produce WAVs and convert them to Apple AIFF files and mp3s for people who want them.

This software is fast and good.

enjoy.
