How to use NoteBurner with Foobar2000 to convert AIFF to MP3

AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) is an audio file format standard used for storing sound data for personal computers and other electronic audio devices. It’s based on Electronic Arts' Interchange File Format. And Electronic Arts, this famous game developer, distributes lots of games for PC, PSP, PS2 and PS3. So many game lovers enjoy playing EA games, and love the original game music as well. However, those sound tracks are not in MP3 format but AIFF. As a result, if they want to use these sound tracks on their iPod, PSP, Zune or mobile phones, they need to find some way to have them in MP3. Search a BT torrent on the internet then download? That will take a lot of time.

Launch Foobar2000, select the AIFF you want to convert, and right click on them, select menu Convert > Write Audio CD….

(Note: You need to have a foo_burninate.dll in the Components folder of Foobar2000 before seeing above Write Audio CD in the menu. Otherwise, you should download it and then put it in the right place. Normally, the full path of this folder is C:\Program Files\foobar2000\components , and the download link for this dll file is http://www.foobar2000.org/components/foo_burninate.zip. And please make sure that you have Nero installed too, since that this component requires Nero to enable its writing function.)
