Are there any great audio file converters?

[luffy99]

Hi, I'm getting into mixing I have started with free tracks that my favorite artists are giving out. Here comes in the fact that I don't really have too much extra memory on my computer and it costs a lot and instead of collecting 60mbish .wav files I'd love to have songs as .mp3s. Does anyone have any experience using any file converters? Do they do they job? Does the converter give you 320kbps mp3s? Edit - I'm using PC

Switch Sound Converter (https://www.nch.com.au/components/switchsetup.exe) does give you the option to set your Bit rate and encoding mode so you may want to give that a try. The demo version is free for 14 days
