Sound Grinder 4.6.1

Sound Grinder is an audio converter for Mac built to process files quickly, efficiently and reliably. It runs 100% native on both PowerPC and Intel processors as a Universal Binary. Whether you need to convert a single file or a whole folder, its processing engine is designed for speed and stability.

Drag-and-drop conversion with Droplets
Choose your conversion settings and save a Droplet to any location. When you drag files or folders onto the Droplet icon, Sound Grinder processes them instantly using your saved settings. Droplets help you build workflows for current projects or recall settings from past ones.

Formats and metadata
Convert between popular audio formats, including Sound Designer 2, WAV/BWAV, AU, AIFF, OGG/Vorbis, MP3 (LAME codec) and QuickTime. Version 3.x adds support for QuickTime Components and enhanced metadata editing. You can read and write the full suite of ID3 tags in AIFF, WAVE and MP3 files, and edit metadata for export.

Convert from the Finder and Dock
Use Rapid Convert, the contextual menu and Dock conversion tool, to convert files right within the Finder. Sound Grinder also supports pull-up/pull-down sample rates, folder hierarchy recreation and 31 character naming compatibility.
