Convert m4a to mp3 for free

Just yesterday I wanted to listen to an audio file I’d downloaded on my Mp3 player (an iRiver X20) - nothing unusual there so far… however, the file happened to be in m4a format and the X20 won’t play files in m4a format.

So I went on a hunt for some software (free, of course) that would do the job for me and I found a few and settled on the unimaginatively (but very practically) named ‘Free M4a to Mp3 Converter’ from the more interestingly named ManiacTools.com.

This simple software was quick to download, quick to install and, most importantly, did the trick quite nicely, thank you very much.  Another plus is that there were no annoying hoops to jump through to download the file - nice and simple and easy.

This little tool does a few other things too so if you’ve got any AAC, M4a, M4b, MP4 or 3GP audio files and your player doesn’t support them, you can convert those audio files into MP3 or WAV formats using this tool.  Check the link above to see out it’s other features since the price is definitely right.  And you can visit our main site for more recommended free audio software here.

This is a cool tool - I’m a convert - no pun intended.  Well, maybe I did intend it…
