It offers two-way conversion between common audio types and MP3, and can also pull MP3 audio tracks from video sources such as DVDs. The program is designed for fast conversions while keeping resource usage low.

The app handles most standard formats, for example:

• WAV

Core features

Switch provides a range of useful tools for everyday audio conversion:

• Batch-processing to convert many files at once
• Ability to preview tracks before starting a conversion
• Preserves ID3 tag data so metadata remains intact

• Automatic normalization of audio levels during conversion

Workflow and customization

The software includes a couple of convenience features to speed up routine tasks. A “Quick Convert” shortcut lets you apply common settings with a single click, and integration with Windows Explorer can be enabled or disabled to suit your workflow. You can also pull song metadata from online databases to populate track information automatically.
