Using an "Audio Convarter" app from the Microsoft Store is an excellent choice for your needs. It's designed for exactly the kind of simple, straightforward conversion you're looking for.
Step-by-Step Guide: How to Use a Free Audio Convarter for Converting WAV to MP3
Step 1: Install the App
- Open the Microsoft Store on your Windows computer.
- Type "Free Audio Convarter" into the search bar.
- Click "Install" on the app of your choice (I recommend starting with the one by DVDVideoMedia as it's very user-friendly).
Step 2: Add Your WAV Files
- Open the Audio Convarter app.
- You will see a prominent button like "Add File", "Add Files", or a "+" symbol.
- Click it and navigate to your dozens of WAV files. You can select multiple files at once by holding down the Ctrl key while clicking on them.
Step 3: Choose MP3 as the Output Format
- Look for a setting called "Output Format", "Profile", or "Convert to".
- Click the dropdown menu and select MP3.
- The Simple Quality Setting: You will likely see a "Quality" or "Bitrate" option. For your needs, I recommend selecting:
128 kbps: Good quality and small file size (perfect for voice recordings).
192 kbps: High quality and still a very manageable file size (ideal for music).
You can't go wrong with 192 kbps. It's the sweet spot for most people.
Step 4: Choose Where to Save the Files
- There will be an "Output Folder" or "Save to" option. Click "Browse" and choose a folder you can easily find later, like your Desktop or Documents folder.
Step 5: Convert WAV to MP3!
- Click the big "Convert", "Start", or "OK" button.
- The app will now convert all your files in one go. You'll see a progress bar for each file.
For your specific request—a simple, user-friendly, and free way to convert dozens of WAV to MP3 on Windows—a Free Audio Convarter from the Microsoft Store is a perfect solution.
