Converter

The Converter component is included with foobar2000 installers. It allows you to convert your audio files to other file formats.

Supported source file formats: any formats playable by your foobar2000 configuration, natively or through optional components.

Supported output file formats:

WAV - natively
AIFF - natively
AU/SND - natively
FLAC - commandline encoder executable (FLAC.exe) required
MP3 - using LAME - commandline encoder executable (LAME.exe) required
AAC/MP4 - using Nero AAC encoder - commandline encoder executable (neroAacEnc.exe) required
Ogg Vorbis - commandline encoder executable (OggEnc.exe) required
WavPack - commandline encoder executable (wavpack.exe) required

More output file formats can be added using "custom" encoder mode with other commandline encoders.

Note that the Converter component is required for ripping CDs with foobar2000.

Output modes

Convert each track to an individual file
Should be self-explaining.

Generate multi-track files
May create multiple files, depending on the naming pattern, and, depending on the target format, creates embedded or external cue sheets, chapters, or other means that allow you to access individual tracks in the created files.

Merge all tracks into one output file
Creates only a single file, without any means to jump to individual tracks later.
