Instead of Switch, use the built-in command-line tool called "afconvert" to turn the file into a standard format like AIFF or WAV, and then use iTunes to convert that into MP3. See http://www.devdaily.com/mac-os-x/convert-caf-sound-file-aif-aiff-mp3-format and http://bparanj.blogspot.com/2010/04/how-to-convert-wav-to-mp3.html for further information on those formats & methods. Instead of iTunes, you could alternatively use the LAME MP3 encoder (see http://lame.sourceforge.net/ ), or maybe ffmpeg (see http://ffmpeg.org/ ). Okay, so I found a different solution.

See http://www.nch.com.au/switch/kb/1065.html for more details. I can confirm that Switch now refuses to open .CAF files. Are there any other programs that can be used?
