[Athen] Seeking recommendations for M4A converter

[Andrea L. Dietrich]

Go to Media --> Convert/Save, then add your file to the list and click Convert/Save. On the window that opens up, choose the "Audio - CD" profile from the dropdown menu. Then hit Browse, and choose what to name the file and where to save it. Then click Start to convert. For most videos it takes very little time.

Um, but how do you do this in Windows with VLC? I have VLC but mostly just press Play and haven't gotten much farther with it.

Seconded, VLC Player is the see-all do-all media converter!

VLC Player works well for making WAV files from pretty much any video file.

Now that we have so many webinars/courses in zoom, I'm seeking a simple converter for Windows that will create .wav files from .M4A. The editor I prefer to use likes wav files or Mp3, but if you convert to mp3 you reduce the audio quality just a bit, so I'd prefer to convert to wav, edit it and then convert to Mp3.

When I record lectures, my main tool for note-taking is to edit the recording about 75% so I have only a short audio file to retain.

This is also useful when I'm working on a recording someone else made.
