However, if you have Foobar2000 installed on your computer, there’s a simpler way to get MP3s from existing OGG files. We all know that Foobar2000 is a very popular media player, and it supports lots of audio formats, such as MP1, MP2, MP3, MP4, MPC, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC / Ogg FLAC, WavPack, WAV, AIFF, AU, SND, CDDA, WMA, APE, APL, M4P, etc.

We can use NoteBurner’s virtual CD-RW to convert OGG to MP3 very easily and at high speed, under the help of Foobar2000. Now, let’s check how to use NoteBurner with foobar2000 to convert Ogg to Mp3.

Firstly, download and install NoteBurner from this link, run it and go to Settings menu, set MP3 as output format.

Launch Foobar2000, select the music 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.)

An audio CD writer window will appear as below. Please remember to select “NoteBurn Virtual_CD-RW” as burning device, and click Burn:

Foobar2000 starts writing audio CD:

And NoteBurner will start encoding later:

(Note: Please run Foobar2000 and NoteBurner at the same time, otherwise, this encoding window will not appear and the conversion will fail.)

After a while, your music would be converted successfully. Right click on the music files in NoteBurner and select Open File Location, and then you can locate them immediately.
