Converting wav files to mp3 the easy way

I have often found myself in need of converting audio files from wav to mp3. As you all know, mp3 files are a lot smaller than wav files, which make them a much better match for mobile apps where you want to limit the final bundle size as much as possible. Another very important aspect is that Android devices seem to have a lot of problems playing wav files. I'm not sure why this is and haven't dug any deeper to find out. Instead I just accept the fact and make sure that all my audio files are in mp3 format, since that's better when it comes to file size anyway.

There are probably a gazillion options available to convert between differents audio formats, both desktop tools and online tools. I've tried a bunch of these tools, and my favorite tool is by far http://online-audio-converter.com/.

It's super easy to use, it's fast, completely free, and there are almost never any problems during format conversion. One of the best features that many other online tools lack, is the possibility of batch conversion. Just upload any number of files, select output format, and within seconds you have a nice little zip file ready for download. That's really all I need when it comes to audio conversion, so I'll definitely just stick to using http://online-audio-converter.com/ until I have a reason not to.
