I have a bunch of pretty big AIFF files (some made with WireTap without compression, other left over from a digitizing LP project. Anyway some are say 250 meg/30 min of AIFF (I didn't think to downgrade the default prefs in WireTap.. :/ ) others are more reasonable.
I'd like to turn these into MP3 for use in my car. Looking on MacUpdate I only really see one OS 9 app (Mpegger, etc) mentioned, other than SoundConvertor (for X) which has some mixed reviews.
Buried in a box I have Toast with Jam (from OS 9.1); would I be better off digging that up and running it under Classic? I don't do this enough at this time to justify the $80 for Jam 6? (X) or Toast + Jam (for X) for $170 or whatever. Just a couple files once in a while, sometimes moving a sound file from one format to another for a lecture (although Authorware is a lot better about Quicktime, now, so I think I'll have to do that less often).
Anyway, OS X software recommendations are welcome (AIFF to MP3 and light editing (cut silence out, maybe here and there once in a while). No real pop/hiss editing needed.
It's been so long since I've done this, that I can't really recall what Jam 5(or so) was capable of- should I just try that under Classic?
