    If I had a large (Circa 10,000) number of wav files neatly organised
    into folder names with artist and album and wanted to mirror the
    collection as mp3s, how might I best go about batch converting the whole
    lot whilst maintaining the file structure?

    I wrote a batch file to convert all files in a directory from wav to mp3
    using LAME but I can't be bothered to find how to follow a tree in Windows.
    Easy enough in unix with find . -name \*.wav -exec ...

    JFGI 'batch convert wav mp3' brings up a free application called Switch
    Plus' as first hit.

    No it doesn't:-
    batch convert wav mp3 gives 2.4 million hits - waver converter is
    first hit
    "batch convert wav mp3" give over 30,000 hits - 3d2f.com software is
    first hit
    Switch Plus isn't free, it's £9.51 (estimate)
    I was hoping for personal suggestions, someone must have done this before
    Thanks anyway

    I use ImTOO WMA MP3 converter, how exactly I came to have a copy of it I
    can't quite remember.

    I use MusicMatch Jukebox to do the conversion. You point it at the folder
    containing the WAVs and the folder where you want the MP3s created, and off
    it goes. It won't work its way through a directory tree though, so you may
    need to sit at your PC doing each folder at a time, or pay a small child an
    insultingly small amount of money to do it for you.

    Sorry it's not exactly what you asked for but maybe it'll do...

    CD-ex. I've done that when resampling MP3s to a lower rate, to squeeze
    more tracks onto my MP3 player. But it almost certainly will do WAVs as
    well.
