As technology progresses, numerous different types of media, and thus new file formats, emerge. This can pose a problem, though. With audio formats ranging from AIFF to WAV, trying to listen to music or even watch videos on your computer can become difficult and possibly tedious.
Today, I will show you some of the top free media converters for Windows to allow you be able to use, watch and listen to all your video and audio files.

FormatFactory is a multifunctional media converter that supports:
Audio Conversion:
From all formats to MP3/WMA/MMF/AMR/OGG/M4A/WAV.

With youconvertit there is an online tool that can do all of the above and a little more.
