Acon Digital Media has announced the release of AudioLiquid Converter, a new application for Windows that converts and processes multiple audio files, complete folder structures or CD tracks with a minimum of mouse clicks.

AudioLiquid Converter helps users handle the multitude of different audio file formats. It converts audio quickly and with great ease of use to a desired target format. Audio can be imported from audio CDs or complete folder structures as well as from audio or video files. After defining the target format and, if desired, adding any number of processing tools, a single mouse click is sufficient to convert and process complete music collections. Furthermore, the integrated audio CD burner lets users create audio CDs without leaving the program.

The integrated processing tools range from high frequency synthesis for restoration of strongly compressed audio files to equalizing and dynamic processing. The support for third party VST and DirectX plug-ins allows users to further extend the integrated processing capabilities.

Supported Audio Formats: wav, mp3, wma, ogg, au, aiff (only import), avi (only import), wmv (only import).
