Some services, or design application can only work with specific file formats. There’s the case with alarms only being able to use WAV files to alert you. In this regard, AlltoWav comes with the means to turn some popular audio files to the WAV format, with batch support, and quality configuration options.

Every time the application starts, you’re asked whether to launch in the batch conversion more, or hot directories. On the other hand, you can quickly switch between modes while already using one. File support is decent, with the possibility to drag them over the main window. You get to work with formats like MP3, WMA, FLAC, TTA, OGG, and APE, but only WAV for export.

Choosing to batch convert allows you to work with multiple files at a time. Unfortunately, you can’t bundle all of them in a single output file, and there’s no built-in editor to bypass this issue, or make any final adjustments. All files you add are displayed in a table, with corresponding info like size, path, length, sample rate, bit rate, and channels.

In case conversion needs to be performed on a regular basis, the application allows you to use the hot directories function, automating the process. You can easily target an entire folder, along with its subdirectories with support for the same type of files. This folder is monitored, and any new files copied there are automatically converted using custom quality settings, and saved to a location you choose.

Regardless of the method you use to perform conversion, the process takes little time to finish. In both cases you have the possibility to view, and save the log of events, just in case something goes wrong, and analysis is required.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that AlltoWav is a powerful converter which allows you to work on multiple files at the same time, with support for various, common file types. Although output is only WAV, quality can be customized, while the hot directories mode can greatly simplify the entire operation.
