A free and fast audio converter specifically for music files optimized for quality.
Monkey's Audio is a free, fast and efficient music conversion tool which compressed music files and WAV files without the loss in quality often experienced with WMA and MP3 files.
Unlike MP3 files, WAV files are able to contain additional data which is often lost in conversion. Unfortunately on that point, WAV files are generally larger and less compatible than WAV files. You take some and you lose some.
Either way, the point of Monkey's Audio is to retain the quality of music of the original source but while offering some compression. That means that music files by Monkey's Audio may not be played on popular devices like the iPad or iPod but can fully be run on systems running Windows.
Monkey's Audio is compatible with Winamp, Windows Media Player, foobar2000, etc.
