MP3s are one of the most common audio files on the Internet for both PC and Mac users. Other common audio formats include OGG, WMA (PC specific), AIFF and WAV files. There are many free programs that can convert your audio or video files to MP3, including iTunes from Apple and All2MP3, a free, simple program that automatically converts common audio files to MP3s. Please note that converting high-quality audio files to MP3 can result in loss of quality due to their specific audio standards.
