Command Line Access

Audio Converter Pro comes with a seperate command line audio converter, which is tied to the Audio Converter Pro license.

The name of this command line program is "ConvertAudio.exe". Its syntax is:

ConvertAudio -f:InputFileName -t:OutputFileName -p:ProfileName

First, to use the command line converter, you need to use Audio Converter Pro to create a profile. The profile is simply the settings you want to use for the convertion, including file type and audio settings, defined in the "Format" panel.

audio_format_audio_converter_wav  
 
Now, select "File | Save Conversion List..." in Audio Converter Pro.

menu_file_save_conversion_list  
 
Save the file to a easy-to-find location
 
save_conversion_list_dialog_audio_converter  
 
The conversion list contains the complete Audio Converter settings, including the file list and output directory. However, when used with the command line converter, only the Format panel information is used.

Now you can use the command line converter with the -f, -t, and -p parameters. You can use double quotes to identify a long file name. The following is an example:

ConvertAudio -f:"C:\Media\myaudio.wma" -t:"C:\Output\myaudio.mp3" -p:"C:\profiles\profile1.xml"
