Convert WMA to WAV with Switch

Short and simple tutorial that shows how to quickly convert one audio file type to another, using Switch, a free software utility from NCH Software. This works on Mac and Windows -- Switch is basically identical on both. So if you have an Olympus digital audio recorder, for example, you can convert your files this way and then edit them in Audacity.

this is very simple tutorials for how to
use
switch to convert WMH file
shortwave 5 same principle applies for
other file types but that's what I'm
gonna show you here
switches basically just a big empty
wind and you first need to find your
file that wants to convert so
look in your hard drive look in your
folders and signs that
job you and me 5 and drag it
in switch window
so after you've got in your switch
window there's
shoot settings day you wanna change for
you
convert the first one is
the output folder you always wanted
make sure that no where
you're gonna say flat so tell it where
to go
find a place in your hard drive where
you know you wanna put it
maybe you have some audio files and put
it there
but I'm gonna cams and then cancel this
show UN easier way in check
this pops it's called output same folder
as
source files checked the box and then
you never have to worry
about where this file is gonna be it'll
be in the same folder
next thing you want to change is the
output
for me if you want to edit
this audio side for example in
audacity you should save it in
uncompressed format
a good uncompressed format she is
wage W a see said she's
way from the many and that'll be
just file format stage just
in and wave is good for all you know
that you are going to
at it
so now checked you know we're gonna
output file to where's it gonna go
check that you no what your output
format is
each is the correct one and then should
elect
file or files their in switch
menu and when that's done just injured
click the button and way
you're done you can tell you're done by
this little green checkmark
and where is this new file
the saved it's where you told it up so
mine is with my source file
because that's what I picked and you can
see me
the way file is a lot bigger
in the Derby and a that's because the
wave is
uncompressed wana is
contracts
