Afree MP3 AMR OGG Converter is certainly not a free tool, but it does deliver high-quality audio conversions between some of the most popular audio codecs. Together with the three already mentioned in the program’s name, AAC, WAV, and M4A formats are also supported. You are offered a set of easy-to-use quality profiles, which can then be fine-tuned to fit your preferences.
The conversion process itself is fast and reliable, and the steps needed to get there could hardly be simpler. You can select as many audio files as needed, though you need to know that all of them will be converted into the last output codec selected following whatever settings you applied to it. Thus, unfortunately, transcoding various files into different formats (or into the same format but using different conversion profiles) requires separate conversion processes. In order to make it easier for all kinds of users, the output profiles provided for each audio format have been labeled with names like “normal quality”, “acceptable quality”, or “superb quality”. This intuitive way of choosing the desired level of quality is complemented with the possibility of tweaking some of the settings by default, such as the bit and sample rates, or the number of channels used.
Thus, this Afree conversion tool is perfectly usable by all types of users, regardless of their knowledge about audio codecs and the way they work. However, the addition of support for other well-known and widely used output formats would greatly enhance this application’s profile.
