Despite a couple of helpful extras, this no-frills audio converter has clearly limited powers. Unlike other applications in this category, Easy MP3 Converter can only transform files between the format found in its name and uncompressed WAV files. If you routinely work with other codecs such as WMA or OGG, you’ll need to find another program. The interface is straightforward, letting you perform conversions with the press of a few buttons. De rigeur features include a basic audio player and support for VBR encoding, though the tool for normalizing files was the biggest plus in this department. The trial version of Easy MP3 Converter will only convert five minutes of audio, and though that’s more generous than many similar applications we’ve seen, it still seems a bit unreasonable (particularly given the program’s narrow scope). All told, we’d file this one in the “average” drawer.
