How to convert .caf files to WAV, MP3, WMA etc

I use QuickVoice free app on my ipad2 to record memos. I’ve just found out how to convert the files and play them on my Windows computer. First I used this program call QuickVoice Sync to copy my recording on my computer, used this link:

www.nFinityInc.com/QuickVoiceSyncWin.exe - for Windows

www.nFinityInc.com/QuickVoiceSyncMac.zip - for Mac users

to download QuickVoice Sync onto your computer. Open the program up and it firsts asks you to backup your files, which I did through iTunes and iCloud just incase. Then I clicked import, the program then searched for my recording and copy them into a new folder in my documents called QuickVoice. My recording in the folder were .caf files which I couldn't open in Windows so I used a program called Audacity. Use this link to download:

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/

I downloaded the program and opened up one of my .caf files my clicking 'file', then 'open' in Audacity. When the files was opened I clicked 'file' again then clicked 'export' to convert my .caf file to WAV file for example. You can change the type of file my scrolling through the different types of files available by clicking the box next to 'save as type', I chose 'WAV (Microsoft) 16bit PCM' then click save. You can also change where you save the file by clicking another location before you click 'save'.

I can now play these files in Windows Media Player on my computer or playing them in my QuickVoice app on my ipad2.

Hope this helps, if there are any questions please ask and I will try to answer the best I can. I figured this out myself and I’m not a big pro in computers so I will do my best to answer any quires.

iPad 2, iOS 6

Try "Easy CAF Converter for Logic Pro" on the Mac App Store.

According to an app description,

"The Easy CAF Converter for Logic Pro automatically converts Apple Loops installed with Logic Pro 9 and X to uncompressed audio formats (aiff and wave).

With the Easy CAF Converter for Logic Pro, musicians using other major DAWs (e.g., Cubase, ProTools, Ableton Live, and Studio One, etc.) can now easily use the rich set of apple loops of Logic Pro in their music productions."

CAF format seems not the popular files that can be supported in most portable devices and media player. If you get .caf files and want to enjoy them. I though you should convert CAF to MP3 files, that would be a easy way to achieve this with Audio Converter. It supports to convert any audio. Try it!

There is a very simple way to do this—without any additional software to download.

1. get Info on your .caf file by cliking on cmd+I

2. the default application to open a .caf file would be "Apple Loops Utility"; click on the right side where the arrows are and select QuickTime Player

3. close the Info window

4. select the .caf file and select Share from the QuickTime Player menu

5. click on Itunes

6. Listen to the file on Itunes.

Some people recommended renaming your caf file to other formats, but this way didn't work.

If you want to convert caf file to wav, mp3, flac, ogg, ac3, au and so on, you'd better to turn to a professional caf converter.

Hi! is the link www.infinityinc.com/quickvoicesyncwin.exe still working? I have a quickvoice audio file which I would like to transfer to my computer. However whenever I type the link it directs me to the website of infinity/ quickvoice. If not, any alternatives as to how I will transfer my quickvoice audio files from my ipad to my personal laptop? Please advise. Thank you.
