Program to convert audio files.

Hello,

I'm new to this forum and I just bought my first Mac (MacBook Pro 13.3") for college. I've taken an Apple Tech class and I am an Apple Certified Macintosh Technician but I've never owned an Apple computer so I don't know much about programs for them. So I was wondering what A good program would be for converting audio files to .mp3 so that I can transfer the music to my phone.

Thanks,

Hello, welcome to M-F!

There are 2 programs that I have and use.
Amadeus Pro - Audio editor / sound and voice recorder for MacOS X
Max from sbooth.org

And iTunes can convert to mp3s too.
Preferences>Import Settings Button>Switch format to mp3.
Then select the song you want to convert to mp3 and under the advanced menu select "Create mp3 Version".

Thanks for the help, I found that the program Max worked very well for what I needed.
