How To Convert .WAV files to .MP3 in a bulk process

Audacity has a built-in feature to automate this exact task in just a few clicks without needing any manual file-by-file converting:

Using Audacity Macros (Batch Processing)

1. Open Audacity.

2. Go to Tools > Macro Manager

3. Click New in the middle to create a new macro, and name it (e.g., WAV to MP3), Click OK

4. Click Insert on the right side:

   • Double-click Export as MP3 from the list of commands, then click OK.

5. Click Save to save your macro, then close the Macro Manager window.

6. Go back to Tools > Apply Macro > Palette...

7. Select your new WAV to MP3 macro.

8. Click Files..., select all the .wav files in your folder, and click Open.

Audacity will automatically process every file in bulk and save the newly created .mp3 files. If you do not specify where to download the files to they will be found in a folder named ... Documents\Audacity\macro-output\
