Used Cdex before, but wanted to convert to WMA. Started with dBpowerAMP v10, the free version still available at http://www.dbpoweramp.com/bin/dMC-r10.exe . Paid the $14 for v11 and have not been disappointed. WMA 2-pass VBR @192 is the most accurate sub-256 format (have not tried OGG, but it is supported). dBpowerAMP is now my preferred music player as it uses 1/3 CPU resources as Windows Media Player - ideal for my laptop!

At first it all works just fine...
The bad news come when you HAVE to pay and register or it just won't encode MP3 files using LAME codec (wich is free!!)...
I used it for years and now I'm looking for a new encoder...

I have been using dBpowerAMP for a couple of years and this is the best and easiest audio format conversion tool in my opinion.

Too bad that it is advertised as Trialware $20 because you don't have to pay for the additional features if all you need is an audio format converter (WAV MP3, MP3 OGG, and many many more formats supported with the use of free codecs). Their audio player is also free but I prefer Winamp.
Maybe more people would try it if it was advertised as Free, which it is unless you want to buy extra features to speed up some format conversions and other stuff.

It has worked perfectly for me and I cannot recommend it enough.

I have always loved & used this tool for converting between formats.
The new version finally uses MAD for decoding, which is great. But
now having to play to use the (opensource) LAME mp3 encoder is a step in the wrong direction. LAME is now complied completely from scratch, so it uses no licensed code, as far as I have read about it. Fortunately ,most people use LAME with ripping apps, anyways.

Latest version 11 now has licensed MP3 conversion.
Still possible to get V10 which is unlimited.
