Is there a batch command that will convert multiple mp3 files to wav files in Sound Forge or any other wav editor app?

Not a direct answer to your question, but it's free:

I do batch converts between MP3 and WAV with Musicmatch Jukebox.

I'm using dbpoweramp (www.dbpoweramp.com ), IMO easily the best free en/decoder for a lot of formats.
Integrates nicely into your right click context menus.

Btw, in case I'm using WaveLab, I can just drag and drop as many MP3s as I like, straight to the program window. Well ok, might not work for hundreds of files... but dbpoweramp will.

you could use winamp. put all of the files into a playlist and use the disk writer output plugin.

I thought "Batch Converter" came with Soundforge... Have a look on your Soundforge CD.

Or maybe Sony stopped this when they took it over.

As said before: Why don't you folks just use dbpoweramp? It does EXACTLY what was asked for brilliantly (and a whole bunch of other things as well).

/me shakes head in disbelief

As uncadave shows, this is the case...

I never got a working copy anyway, even though I think I was entitled to a copy (free towards the end) I never got it registered successfully...

As much as I love Sound Forge, the lack of inbuilt batch facilities is a major oversight. All these free converters are great (especially DBpoweramp as mentioned) but they can't do the little chopping/trimming/fading jobs that you often need.

itunes does batch conversion from mp3 to wav vice versa and other formats too. not to mention it's pi to use and free.

unix way (sox and mpg123 or mpg321 are available as
source and are known to run also in windows):

this example uses zsh-syntax

foreach s in ( *.mp3 ) { mpg123 -s $s | sox -t raw -r 44100 -s -w -c 2 - $s.wav }

How do you use these in Windows? CygWin?
