If you don’t know what type of audio formats will be suitable for your device, you should opt for MP3 format in the majority of the cases. Indeed, this format is natively supported by the vast majority of devices and players and offers a good quality without being too large in size.

Icecream Media Converter easily converts any type of audio files to MP3 in a very simple way thanks to user friendly interface. For example, you can convert WAV to MP3, WMA to MP3, etc. The entire process is completed in several simple steps – read more about them in the article below.

You can work with both existing audio files and YouTube videos. To download and convert music to MP3 audio format right from a YouTube video, press the “Add URL” button in the top left corner of program’s main window and paste a valid YouTube link into the URL box.

If you have a necessary audio file on your computer, you can press the “Add file” button at the top left or “Add file to start converting” button in the middle of the main window of the program. "Add file" panel will be opened where you should click on icon of a folder or white area to which it belongs.

Start music to MP3 conversion

When all the settings are configured, you can either start the conversion (click on the “Convert” button in the bottom right corner of the settings panel) or add more files for batch conversion (click on the “Add to queue” button in the bottom right corner of the same panel). You should repeat the process for each new file. If you accidentally added a wrong one, you can delete it from the queue by single clicking on a recycle bin icon to the right of it. The “Clear queue” button at the bottom left will help you get rid of all files in your queue.

Finally, press the “Convert” button and the conversion will begin immediately. Wait until the popup window shows up and suggests you to open folder – it will bring you to the folder your output files are saved in. Check them out and close the application.
