I have been using zamzar.com each week to convert recordings using my Android phone. I converted MP3 files for sharing with others.

Sometimes it takes a while to get the file back, so I'd like a simple (maybe even free) program to do it on my computer myself. I saw a note that suggested all I needed to do was change the file extension, but that doesn't work for me. Anyone know of a simple converter? Editing the file is optional, but would be nice for length issues only.

I finally settled on Switch Sound Convertor. Since I am using it for non-commercial use, and only using it for one purpose, the free audio converter meets all my current needs.

Both Switch Converter and Free Studio worked great. I can't get Audacity to recognize 3GA file. Being able to do the conversion in a couple minutes is a big help. Using zamzar [which has been timing out on me lately] last time, I got myself confused and ended up losing one in a series. My mistake, so not faulting zamzar per se. This route will be safer for me. Thanks everyone.

Try this Free Studio [Broken URL Removed] it can do what you want and a whole lot more. for example you can download and convert youtube videos to mp3, mp4 or wav, you can convert between most audio formats, you can make a 3d video, you can convert a video to a bunch of pictures, you can convert videos to dvd and burn them right there.....this program is awesome!!
