I use FormatFactory for video conversions, it has audio conversion also (I haven't tried it). It is a free download &nbsp;(the video converter works great, so I would imagine the audio would too). Let me know if it works for you.<br />

I have an audio file which is pure 5.1 (6 channel) (see screenshot). This file has Audio bitrate of ~4330 kbps and is over 200 MB in size, not that its troubling but is there a way to convert it to .MP3 &nbsp;/ .MP4 / .WMA while not losing any of the audio channel information or clarity (preferably a loseless codec)<br />

How do I convert pure 6 channel .WAV to .MP3

Digital audio is technology that can be used to record, store, generate, manipulate, and reproduce sound using audio signals encoded in digital form. Following significant advances in technology, digital rapidly replaced analog audio technology in most areas. Digital audio systems may include compression, storage, processing and transmission components. It is important to distinguish between the audio coding format, the codec performing the encoding and decoding of the raw audio data, and the container file. Common file formats include .wav, .aiff, .au, .m4a, .mp3, .wma, .ra and .raw.

Digital Audio

Multimedia applications are those programs that integrate more than one media at a time; browsers are the most obvious. However, the term has come to include the use of programs that enable the use of any component that isn’t simple text and static graphics, such as audio, video, animation, virtual reality, conferencing and monitoring.
