i seem to have done it with compressor. So is going from 44 to 48 and 16/32 to 24... without any dithering is cool?

I gotta say... much easier than itunes method... thanks Bee Bee though

There's a handy app called MAX that does audio batch conversions. It's fast and has tons of format options including some obscure ones.

Personally I use Bias Peak to batch stuff, it'll take care of most audio events that you can throw at it.

The other day for example I batched 250 Jungle loops from 170bpm to around 130 to get them back the original old skool breakbeats they had been before somebody pillaged them for a commercial Drum and bass sample CD ( tut tut... mentioning no names )

Set it away, made a cup of tea, came back, done... can't argue with that.

Mike: Good tip, thank you.

I thought SoundConverter would do this too, but it doesn't seem to like 32-bit files, but MAX worked perfectly.
