FFmpeg is an astonishingly powerful open source command line tool for converting, streaming and recording audio and video.

That 'command line' will put many people off, and of course it does mean that the program is more difficult to use than a GUI converter. But don't let that put you off. Although FFmpeg requires a little work to learn, you can still get productive very quickly. Look at this:
- On Mac, can be installed with brew install ffmpeg; On Ubuntu/Debian, can be installed with apt-get install ffmpeg; sox. On Mac, can be installed with brew install sox; On Ubuntu/Debian, can be installed with apt-get install sox; Running As a single script. Run python downloadaudioset.py.

Step 1 - Downloading FFmpeg. The first step is to download the FFmpeg executable. The links below point to a zip file containing the executable file of FFmpeg (stored on the Sketchucation web site). Windows 64: zip file. Mac OSX: zip file. Step 2 - Extracting FFmpeg executable. In the 64-bit FFmpeg section, left-click the link 'ffmpeg64bitosx.pkg' and save the file anywhere on your computer. When you have finished downloading, double-click the 'ffmpeg64bitosx.pkg' in your Downloads folder. You will be guided through the installation; Click through the steps in the installer.
ffmpeg -i video.avi video.mp4
As you can probably guess, the -i tells ffmpeg that video.avi is the input file, and it converts that and saves it to video.mp4. Need an MPG instead? Just specify video.mpg as the second file name. Using video.mp3 will extract only the soundtrack, or video.gif will save it as an animated GIF.
FFmpeg supports a vast number of formats, too, which is why it's the power behind many, perhaps most of the freeware conversion tools around (typically they're just front ends which allow you to specify a file, then pass the results to a local copy of ffmpeg.exe).

Of course this is only a fraction of what you need. There are a vast number of other commands to specify frames, resolutions, codecs, to define exactly how everything is processed, and that really can get complicated. But you don't have to use that, and even if you only ever learn -i, that's still probably enough to justify the download.
Verdict:
FFmpeg is the gold standard for media conversion, streaming and processing in general. It's console-based, but basic operations are easy, and if you're tired of the usual underpowered adware-packed freeware (many of which use FFmpeg under the hood anyway) then it's well worth a look.

In this site, and you will find Audacity-compatible plug-ins and libraries such as those needed forMP3 Encoding, or the FFmpeg library for wider file format support. This siteis NOT affiliated with Audacity(R) in any other way than by compatibility withit.
LAME is a library that allows some programs to encode MP3 files.LAME is free,but in some countries you may need to pay a license fee in orderto legally encode MP3 files.
Audacity is a free and open source Audio Editor which allows you totransform ogg to mp3, transform mp3 to ogg, transform vinyls to mp3 or ogg, do anykind of home recording, remove noise, etc. Is WONDERFUL. I have used it torecord and mix some of my bands songs. Feel free to check out this page to download some songs.
