Hanso Converter

The functionality Hanso Converter has to offer revolves around audio files. You see, you can use this application to rip audio CDs and to convert audio files from one format to another. Multiple audio formats are supported for the input and output: MP3, MP4, OGG, AAC, FLAC, WMA, WAV and BONK. As is usually the case with applications of this type, using Hanso Converter is a simple 3-step process.

The good thing about installing Hanso Converter is that it will take little time and effort to get this audio converter up and running on your Windows PC. The annoying thing about installing Hanso Converter is that you will be presented with multiple offers to install additional software on your PC. I was able to decline all of them, except for one – I could not opt out of installing Genieo.

Hanso Converter’s interface is divided into two panels: the one at the top presents the audio files you selected to be converted; the one at the bottom presents information about the encoding process. Above these panels there’s a traditional File Menu and a toolbar with buttons for various features and functions, like Add Files, Configure General Settings, and Start the Encoding Process.

At the start of this article, I mentioned that using audio conversion tools like Hanso Converter is a simple 3-step process. Here’s a closer look at these steps:
Step 1 – load the audio files you want to convert. You can load a single audio file, multiple audio files, select a directory that contains audio files, or select an audio CD.
Step 2 – set up the conversion parameters. This means you have to pick the output format, play with some encoding options, and specify where to store the converted files.
Step 3 – launch the conversion/encoding process and wait for it to complete.

Hanso Converter is free software.
