The first thing you’ll notice about this program is its good looks. Coming off like Windows Vista’s younger cousin, the interface is colored in a familiar blue and green palette. Factory Audio Converter is also very easy to figure out right from the first launch. Each step is labeled numerically. The area to find the files is labeled number 1; the box labeled as number 2 is the actual conversion order list, allowing you to check and uncheck the files to convert; step 3 is simply a row of buttons with all the output options for your MP3s.

When you click a file in the conversion window, its ID3 tag info automatically appears in the bottom info boxes. This is handy because it allows you to properly identify your files before you convert them. Only slightly disappointing is the fact that you can’t alter these tags directly through the software like other programs.

Distinguishing itself from the lesser programs, Factory Audio Converter has a CD ripper function. This is great because everyone has CDs lying around that this program will help you wrangle into your music library and onto your devices. If you have a lot of CDs, or simply a lot of files on your computer, Factory Audio Converter does support batch conversion.

The one distinguishing factor that sets this program apart is the inclusion of an audio player. There are only so many ways a software developer can design a MP3 converter, and an audio player isn’t necessarily a must for audio conversion. However, with the inclusion of an audio player, it’s clear that myFormatFactory have an eye for details.

Input:   Excellent

Factory Audio Converter is another one of the programs that offers sheer volume in the input file category. Only Switch Audio Converter is comparable in offering flexibility for the types of files this program will convert. This is a big plus if your files come from a variety of different sources and download providers. All the big stars are present: WAV, MP3, WMA, OOG, FLAC. The list goes on. If you are worried about a specific file type you have lurking on your hard drive, there’s a good chance Factory Audio Converter has you covered.
