Comment on Converting CAF files to MP3 by JBLONGZ

Switch works for MOST .caf files. I managed to convert the majority of Logic Studio’s loops to mp3. There are a few files that mysteriously cause Switch to crash, only putting a minor thorn in the batch process. They were easy to locate as I could see (in alphabetical order) where the list of mp3s stopped. I simply skipped the one or two erroneous files and reset the batch. Not sure why some files don’t work, but I’m content to have successfully converted about 90%.

It didn’t work for me either. What should i do?
I used the Windows version and it just crashed because the file format wasn’t supported…

I just used Switch to convert a caf file from QuickVoice Pro on the iPhone, imported it into iTunes, and burned to CD, and all worked fine. This was a test using a band concert song, and what I need it for is recording an audition CD for my kid. Going from caf file in the Finder directly into GarageBand worked fine too.

I have just converted Voicenotes files from caf to mp3 using audacity recommended by Blake on the 4th March, and it works a treat, excellent recommendation.
Thanks for all the help, as it was driving me round the twist.
