ConvertM4A Recordsdata ToMP3 In ITunes
I must convert audio files to mp3 using ffmpeg. Now you may at all times download audio from a website and immediately convert it to a different format. Step three. On the new window that appears, click on on "Rip Music" and then scroll down and click on on "Change" to pick out a vacation spot of the transformed file. WAV is a standard audio format for Home windows operating systems, typically used for storing high-quality, uncompressed sound. WAV files can comprise CD-high quality audio indicators. However, CD-high quality WAV information require relatively giant quantities of memory. And that preference has stuck for some time now even though MP3 doesn't have practically the same quantity of high quality as WAV or AIFF information. But regardless of this growing base of individuals using increased high quality formats, there are nonetheless those that desire the MP3 — whether or not out of nostalgia or quality, who knows. Step 2: Select MP3 as Output Format. Hit the Convert all recordsdata to: choice to open the codecs checklist, and tap on the Audio tab to decide on MP3 format and quality. The file sort selection determines which importer makes an attempt the file first when utilizing the Open or m4a wav converter youtube online Import Audio dialogs. For instance, a WAV file may very well be imported by Audacity's native WAV importer or by the non-obligatory FFmpeg library if this was installed. Individuals who personal an iPhone, iPad, iPod or a Mac laptop is perhaps acquainted with them4a format. Them4a file signifies the audio layer of (non-video) MPEG 4 movies and is encoded with advanced audio coding (AAC) that could be a lossy compression. It's typically regarded as the successor to MP3 and produces better audio quality and smaller dimension than MP3 file. an mp3 is a compressed audio file, which means that plenty of information from the file is compressed to keep file sizes small. Unfortunately when this occurs, audio high quality suffers, especially when you try to take an already compressed mp3 and convert it to something else. You do not get the full vary of sound. Whenever attainable, always, all the time convert from wav to mp3. Wav is an uncompressed audio format so your file dimension can be large but the unique sound can be maintained. Clearly this is not ultimate for iOS attributable to file sizes. So that you by no means need to take an already compressed mp3 and make it smaller by chopping the information down. The sound you get might be completely awful and you may not be getting all the things you'll be able to. To realize this, it appears that evidently if I want to use services reminiscent of Google Play Music, my best option is to encode to MP3 with the LAME encoder and a excessive-quality variable bitrate reminiscent of v0 or v1. (Fixed bitrates bloat information needlessly; lossy compression is designed to realize a desired perceived high quality, which does not at all times require a variety of bits). However, I've no want to reencode tens of thousands of songs in this manner. Lossless codecs (FLAC, WAV, AIFF) are preferable right here. It isn't matter compressed or not. by encoding audio recordsdata with FLAC, the quality is exactly the identical as the unique audio file's quality is. That is precisely in contrast to the audio formats resembling MP3 and WMA work - these audio formats are called "lossy" and that means that when the unique audio is encoded into the lossy audio format, among the audio information is lost without end and can't be brought again by any means. Select the AAC Encoder possibility in the top drop down menu, the standard settings are up to you. Now, click on on Convert All" icon at the lower right and the program will begin to transform your file instantly. As soon as the conversion is finished now you can open your MP3 file. Split a Single File into Several: Is a audio file too massive to your iPod, iPhone, PSP, or cell phone? Simply cut up it into a number of information to make it fit onto your multimedia device exactly. This Free FLAC Converter presents a straightforward option to convert all your FLAC audio recordsdata to MP3, and most other audio codecs together with WAV, WMA, AAC, AIFF, M4A, AAC, and so forth. What's more, the Flac Converter helps to transform video and audio to Flac format on the same time, similar to AVI to Flac, MOV to Flac, MP3 to Flac, WAV to Flac, RAM to Flac, FLV to Flac and more.
Step 2: Click the Import Utilizing field, select WAV Encoder because the encoding format within the pop-up menu, then click OKAY to avoid wasting the settings. Convert MP3, WAV, AAC and plenty of other information in seconds via our foolproof interface with plenty of hints for inexperienced persons. Free Convert WAV to MP3 is multilingual and translated into 38 different languages. Waveform Audio File Format is a Microsoft and IBM audio file format customary for storing an audio bitstream on PCs. It is the most important format used on Home windows techniques for uncooked and sometimes uncompressed audio. The same old bitstream encoding is the linear pulse-code modulation (LPCM) format. Step 2: On "Import Using" window, select "WAV Encoder" and press the OKAY button. Whole Audio Converter converts a variety of rare audio file varieties like NIST, AU, TTA, MOD, MIDI, XM, PAF, SPX audios. When changing, you can pause, cease, and proceed at any second with the sensible audio converter for Mac. Extract audio tracks from Audio CD, and then save to MP3, WAV, WMA(wma2), WMA(wma3), AAC, M4A, AC3, OGG, AMR. Utilizing digital recording expertise, Aura Audio Converter is able to convert all kinds of audio information to MP3, WMA and WAV codecs. The Aura Audio Converter can protect album info comparable to album art, title, artist and different ID3 tags and switch them to the converted audio files. Free MP3 to WAV Converter, Convert MP3 to WAV. Use this instrument to transform video and audio recordsdata from many alternative formats to WAV. You may either choose a neighborhood file or input a remote file location for conversion. In case you are logged in you can decide-in to get notified by e-mail as soon as the conversion is completed. I take advantage of iDealshare VideoGo to convert m4a wav converter youtube online to WAV or convert WAV to M4A.

Tumblr media
A weird shift has happened during my evaluation of the 5 Hasselblad XCD lenses at my disposal. Having been mesmerized by Hans Strand’s first sample photos with the XCD 30, that lens was the one I requested for my initial review and the first one I wanted to go in my own bag. And the XCD 21 and XCD 120 also found their way there simply because they were part of an interesting deal, my firm intention being to sell them very quickly. But those became favourites as soon as their review was over. And now that I’m testing my final lens, the XCD90 (which has stayed asleep in the pelicase for 3 months), I wonder whether that isn’t the best of the bunch …
Tumblr media
    This is getting embarassing. At every new review, my conclusion seems to be “oh, this is the best of the set, so far”. Some reviewer, right ?
Tumblr media
But let me explain.
  All of these lenses are extraordinarily sharp and well corrected. They are also close in rendering. The whole range (that I know of) shows high consistency in ergonomics and looks. However, now that my familiarity with these 5 lenses has grown significantly, it’s possible to identify a few heads sticking out in various directions.
    The XCD 120 Macro is slower and larger than the rest. Its autofocus is very very accurate and it’s rendering is very gentle and transparent.
The XCD 45 is probably not quite as sharp as the others (while still being very sharp) and has the softest, most gentle rendering. It could be my only lens and I wouldn’t feel sad for a moment.
The XCD 30 is super sharp but also a little wee bit harsher. Ergonomically, it’s not quite as nice as the XCD 45, with a louder, crunchier autofocus and larger size. Still an absolute peach and a serious contender for my desert island lens.
The CXD 21 is a razor blade and also a little stark. It got me to love wide angle lenses and that’s saying a lot. It’s large but a joy to use and very clever optically. If there’s a better lens for architecure, I’d love to meet it.
My impression is that (roughly speaking) the longer the focal length, the more gentle the aesthetics. And the shorter the focal length, the starker the look (with some variation, as I feel the XCD 30 is maybe even a tad more severe than the XCD 21).
And the XCD 90, well, that’s just Goldilocks.
    While it doesn’t quite play the same Jedi mind tricks with 3D rendering as my former Distagon 1.4/35 ZM or an Otus, it still offers a very beautiful sense of depth with a very gentle transition from sharp to unsharp and great smoothness of bokeh.
  In fact, this feels like a very natural lens, just lke the remarquable XCD 120 reviewed recently. In my early tenure of these XCD lenses, the relative lack of “pop” compared to Zeiss’ finest frustrated me and I wrote to Ming Thein to get his opinion about it. His surprised answer was “Even the 90?”. Now I understand why.
  In use, this is as close to a perfect lens as I’ve ever seen. The AF is snappy (for this range and camera), shutter noise is very slightly more metallic that the super gentle XCD 45 but still very pleasant, the optical quality is – once again – insanely high. It is short-ish, not heavy, and perfectly balanced in the hand and on the camera. The 21 and (even more so) the 120 feel very cumbersome in comparison. This, is an absolute corker.
  3D pop (vs Otus 85)
  How does it compare to an Otus 85 ? The promised comparison in the title wasn’t just clickbait
Tumblr media
For me, this question is important as I only can / want to keep one of the two.
Tumblr media
  The obligatory bicycle photograph (he remembered!!!) and an illustration of how linear and natural the sharp to unsharp transition is.
  Comparing the two might be meaningless because the Otus goes almost 3 stops more open, is manual focus, requires an adapter and silent shutter. It vignettes quite heavily, not the XCD … apple to oranges. My only interest here is in rendering. Both are sublime lenses. But which is more to my tastes? Or yours?
  Let’s get sharpness out of the way. But are much sharper than the sensor can resolve (on most of the surface, in the Otus’ case).
Tumblr media
  (c) Hasselblad
Tumblr media
Otus 85 @ f/4 (c) Zeiss
  The Otus (here at f/4, 3 stops in) is very slightly better at the center and the XCD 90 (at its f/3.2 full aperture) beats it from 15mm and outwards.
  Otus 85
  More interesting are bokeh and pop. If you compare the Otus 85 photograph above to the cat photo further above or the tree below (you can click both to open larger files in separate tabs) the Otus feels like it has more depth, even in the out of focus zones. The XCD 90 seems both a tad more nervous and a bit flatter. Leaving aside the vignetting, which is easy to correct at mid and short distances, the sense of volume on the tree trunk is a tad better than the sense of volume on the cat’s head. Audrey (Distagon 1.4/35 ZM) and Otus lenses are extraordinary at that 3D game. To be fair to the Hassy, the oak tree below is “flatter”, relative to its distance, than the walnut above. But still, I think the Otus does a slightly better job of recreating the volume of the trunk and of depicting its integration in the scene. The oak looks slightly more cut-out, as in Japanese tunnel books. But the Hassy picture looks more … natural (a word that comes up regularly).
    So, the Otus is a bit more charming and the XCD a lot more practical and a bit more neutral … thinking cap on for now. End of comparison (for now) but I’ll get into more thorough tests soon. In the mean time, any lens that can do that sort of 3D is good enough for me :
Tumblr media Tumblr media
  Click to see the world’s first F1 levitating pilot!
  Flare and glare
  This will be quick. To see any measure of those, you’ll need pretty extreme conditions.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
    In real life, none of my photographs have been affected by flare or glare with this lens.
  The cloud test
  This is as unscientific as it gets. But I find that clouds are never well rendered by poor lenses. They look flaky and artificial. And this is only made worse by aggressive post processing. So here are a few clouds with all manner of PP for a very subjective evaluation.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
    Bokeh. To swirl or not to swirl?
Tumblr media
    Until this photo popped up in my test files import, there had been no indication of swirly bokeh anywhere in any conditions. But here, at ful f/3.2 aperture and about 4m to the main subject, it does seem like the very edges are starting to dance about slightly (also, you can see chromatic aberration in the out of focus zones, at the junction between the hills and the sky). And here it is again, close up and at ful aperture. It seems that the closer and more open you are using the lens, the more it will swirl about the background. That’s new to me in this range and probably indicates some field curvature at close distances.
Tumblr media
    In most situations, however, bokeh is very simple and creamy, within the limits of what a lens limited to f/3.2 can achieve.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
    Operational considerations
Along with the 45, this has the most pleasant and fastest autofocus. It’s not able to transform the X1D into a Sony A7S3, but it’s fast enough to focus on stuff that moves. Also the AF noise is far better than on the XCD 30 or the XCD 120, both noisy blighters.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
    All XCD lenses have big, heavy glass elements and aren’t designed for fast autofocus. Optical quality is the name of the game, focusing speed comes a very distant second. But The XCD 45 and XCD 90 will let you deal with family / pet / some sports conditions if you’re willing to put some effort into it rather than rely exclusively on a machine to tell you where your kid’s eyes are located.
Truthfully, though, this system is much more about accuracy than speed and I very much hope it always remains that way. It’s great to know the Swedes have provided us with a way to escape the tyranny of speed and numbers. Keep it up guys, and thank you. Now if Sony would consider ISO 25 sensors, it would be bliss all over
Tumblr media
  Chromatic aberration
None whatsoever in focus but you will find some in out of focus zones, as illustrated by the first photograph in the bokeh section, above.
  In B&W
Judging a lens by the look of the monochrome photographs it produces is also rather subjective, given the amount of PP that goes into those, but revealing nonetheless. When we judge the look of a lens, we tend to evaluate potential colour casts and chromatic aberration as well as geometric rendering. Not only does a b&w conversion eliminate the colour component from the mix (freeing your mind to judge only the latter aspects) it also helps you see the sort of look the lens draws you towards. Or, if you have a personal style, whether the lens suits it well or not.
And, boy, is this a lovely system for monochrome imagery!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
    The XCD 90 feels very transparent with excellent in-focus 3D and good bokeh 3D that creates a look better served by global contrast manipulation than by small scale contrast wizardry (clarity). It doesn’t have that etched look that many beginners confuse with sharpness and results are better served by maintaining that natural quality than by trying to add artificial brittleness. I particularly enjoy the separation of objects deep in the shadows (such as the hand at bottom right, above) that makes it easy to plunge large parts of the frame into darkness while retaining a lot of life. And, given the camera’s natural abilities with highlights (see the horse behind the youg girl at center, three pics above), the combo is absolutely wonderful for fine art monochrome photography.
  In closing
  I’ll leave you with a few more photographs, many made in Arles on a “Guardian” (literally cowboys, in Camargue) day, where the colour of the stone and the festive garnments gave the Swede combo sweet emotions.
  What strikes me most with this lens is the sense of freedom it gives me. Its snappy(-ish) autofocus makes it great for decisive moment photography (if HCB got a dime every time someone misused that term, right?) But that’s not all. Compared to others, in particular the XCD 120 Macro, it’s fairly obvious Hasselblad have let some correction go to the wind. It’s still an impeccably noble lens, but there are traces chromatic aberration in the out of focus zones, and there can be some swirl in the bokeh. I believe the positive flip side of this is that sense of breathing and freedom that is very rarely found in modern lenses. In many ways, this XCD 90 reminds me of a better behaved Audrey (Distagon 1.4/35 ZM).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
    This post marks the end my series of reviews of the Hasselblad X1D system (so far). So it’s fitting to conclude it with a DearSusan signature photograph of a bicycle, right?
Tumblr media
Seriously, though, this photographs says a lot about the system. It is one that doesn’t attempt to do all things but does them remarkably well:
Yes, you have autofocus and will be able to track passing horses, but the system is happiest with slow moving subjects.
Colours are out of this world.
The great transparency and lovely rendering are well suited to a naturalist approach. Maybe you can slap on great presets and obtain gorgeous photographs. But this isn’t spicy curry, it’s the best sashimi in the world and it is best enjoyed au naturel.
The system is an absolute joy in black and white as well, although it did take me a lot of readjusting. Files don’t respond all that elegantly to harsh treatment and great mood swings of the clarity slider (which was one of the most pleasing tricks with the A7r2 and Audrey). They feel far more traditional in that they far prefer local burning and dodging, a la film days. This may have to do with Phocus more than with the camera, but I’m judging the system as a whole.
The least pleasurable aspects of the camera are the dust magnet sensor, a major pain that also takes me back to the film days – a sensor booty shake sure would be nice – and a certain proneness to crashing whenever I try to hurry it rather than wait for operations to complete naturally.
The most pleasurable aspects of the camera are its understated looks and build, absolutely intuitive ergonomics and fabulous image quality. Hasselblad – unlike anyone else in the field – don’t seem to care about specifications. I’m regularly shooting at ISO 1600 when others are at 200 thanks to IBIS. There is no noise reduction cheating. There is no fancy top speed, buffer rate … And none of this matters, ever. It is just such a relaxing camera.
Tumblr media
    It takes time to get to know and appreciate a system. What I now realise and admire is the design logic behind these Hasselblad XCD lenses. Initially, after years of using adapted old lenses on a Sony camera, the XCD range felt a little bit clinical and soulless. Nothing could be further from the truth.
  What Hasselblad have designed is a set of lenses each optimised for a special application. The 21 has the rigourous geometry and slightly hard rendering that suits architecture. The 30, with its slightly hard edge, is astonishing in low light and the sort of configuration you’ll find in landscape photography. The 45 is small, fast, tolerant and ideal for street. The 90 is snappy, accurate, breathy and probably the most beautiful of the lot. It feels perfect for portraits and fashion. The 120 is slow, incredibly sharp, natural and accurate. It is the perfect naturalist lens. All have mind blowing MTF (and a price tag to match) but that’s only the basis on which each individuality has been built. It’s a fabulous system and I can’t wait to try out the newer lenses and the new cameras.

Four essential ecommerce site optimizations that drive sales
The whole point of marketing is to deliver the right message to the right audience at the right time. But what about conversion optimization? How do you know which tool to use in which area of your ecommerce site that’s key to the customer journey? What’s better for a particular campaign?
In this article, we cover a list of ecommerce site optimization suggestions and tactics that can boost your sales.
1. Design and UX
A. Optimize your home page
So, there’s the home page of your ecommerce site. The first thing your target visitor expects to see on it is the product/service you’re selling.
Since a person’s eye first falls on the center of the page, it is better to attract his attention with a bright thematic image of the main product.
Suppose the image has worked and the user has decided to stay. Now he would like to know what shop he got into, whether it’s worth buying here. The vision moves to the bar in the top of the site, where it’s necessary to place:
Company logo – always in the upper left corner
The search bar
Contact details (obligatory – phones, in addition – addresses and hours and other means of communication, button to order a call). According to the survey results, 90% of respondents confirmed that they once became the victim of fraudsters when making online purchases. This means that the trust of customers must be earned, and detailed information about the store – one of the effective ways.
Shopping cart (always on the right)
Here you can also find a horizontal menu with product categories or information pages (delivery and payment, reviews, FAQs).
Becoming acquainted with your shop, the visitor will surely want to explore a variety of products. As usual, on the left side of the screen, they will look through the category menu. A left sidebar is an appropriate place not only product categories, but also news, promotional, and top products, if necessary – the benefits of buying.
B. Simplify your product categories
The visitor gets to the category page in one of three ways – goes from the main page, goes from the search, goes from advertising. In each case, they want to see exactly the products they’re looking for.
On this page, everything should be extremely simple, clear, and convenient – especially the images of goods to make sure that the person got to the address.
The left-side docket provides the advantage of sorting products in customized searches and detailed views.
Important: If the product is out of stock, it’s better to gently notify the client – to offer to buy under the order or notify about the receipt of goods.
If the visitor opened the product card, the main thing they want to see here is a good photo, price, a button to buy. These are the elements that need to be highlighted and worked through.
Therefore, only high-quality professional photos may convince the customer to make a purchase, with the possibility of magnification, taken from different angles. Place a photo in the left upper part of the card. Being acquainted with appearance, the client for certain will be interested in the description of the goods.
The card should be compact but filled with the basic characteristics, feedback and evaluation of the product by customers (psychological trigger of social evidence). This will increase confidence in the store.
The order of placement of all elements in the product card should follow the logic of the client: What is the product/service? How much does it cost? How to buy and get?
This information is offered to the person consistently, which corresponds to the AIDA marketing model:
Attention → Interest → Demand → Action
2. Understand and fix server site errors
Much has been written about the usability of the site. Today, anyone who has their own ecommerce site understands what is needed at the start. But, even working with large sites, you can notice a certain tendency of repetition in usability shortcomings. One of them is related to displaying server errors.
A. Error 404 is helpful
The 404 error page is one of the most common and yet undeservedly forgotten errors. Keep in mind that our main task is to ensure the longest interaction between a user and the site. That’s why even the 404 page should not lose a user at least but redirect them to another useful section of the site.
Act as a guide and prompt your site visitor the following steps: “Return to Home”, “Order a call”, “Pick up similar ones?”
Again, act creatively – it’s a whole free page on your resource. Ask yourself, “what can be placed there?” Once again remind your target audience about the company with the logo, give a coupon/discount to the “Top Sales”, make an announcement of upcoming promotions, lotteries or the opening of new sites.
Do not forget about the correct title for pages 404 error. For example, “404 Not Found”. In a series of open tabs in the browser is much more convenient to see immediately “broken” URLs.
And, of course, check that all links on your 404 page are working.  If you redirect the user to the main page or directory, the links must be correct and working. Finally, owners of ecommerce sites, in particular, should know basic information about HTTP code errors and how to fix them.
3. Improve the shopping experience
A. Setup structure so visitors can easily find products
If you have a good understanding of your business, it will be easy to identify the main product categories and divide them by their key attributes.
But if you are just starting your online business, you may have problems forming the structure of the catalog. In this case, you need to arm yourself with your own buying experience and proven recommendations for building a directory structure, analysis of competitors and their comparison with popular search engine queries.
Try to form a directory tree by keeping a balance between sections. There are some rules to follow when creating a directory structure:
According to the psychology of perception of information, 7 is the optimal number of sections of the highest level in the directory, in which the user can simultaneously capture the view.
In each subsection, there should be no more than 100 items. If any category has hundreds of items, and there are only 10-20 product cards in the neighbouring categories, it means that you should divide a large section into subdivisions or create a handy filter for key features.
The maximum level of nesting sections – no more than three: The buyer should go from the catalog to the product card in three clicks:
Section – First click > Subsection – Second click > Product – Thirsd click
The catalogue should be balanced: in each section, there should be an approximately equal number of subsections, and in each subsection – an approximately equal number of goods.
4. Tweak and test your ecommerce checkout process
A. Offer a variety of ways to buy wisely
Let’s start with the fact that there is no and can’t be a single ideal list of payment instruments for all sites. The list of payment methods is formed depending on several key factors:
The size of the average check
The geography of business
Goods or services
Habits of clients (buyers)
Next, we will give you some tips that will make the page of choice of payment methods as effective as possible.
B. Do not follow the logic of “the more, the better”
In most cases, only a couple of payment instruments are really in demand. The largest selection of payment methods provides its customers with coupon services, online software stores, ticket offices, and other services. In the vast majority of cases, 99% of online payments will fall on two-to-three payment instruments. Do not forget that most customers prefer to pay for large physical goods on delivery and check the quality of goods before buying.
C. Structure your payment methods
If you provide your clients with a wide range of payment instruments, create a separate section for bank cards, a separate section for electronic money, and a separate section for payments via mobile operators. Visualize payment methods with icons and logos. In large amounts of text, attention dissipates, sometimes it is difficult to understand how they differ. All discounts and commissions should be immediately converted into the final amount of the order.
D. Don’t scare the client with terminology
Your buyer does not have to know the terminology common among Internet entrepreneurs. Separately, it should be noted that even payment service providers, not to mention stores, often use completely different terms to denote certain phenomena of “payment reality”. Talk to customers in their language, and get rid of rejections at the stage of choosing a payment method and at the stage of payment, the additional burden on the call center and other consequences of misunderstanding.
E. Do not pass on your work to the customer
Often ecommerce businesses that accept payments through several payment services (aggregators, payment service providers, bank-acquirers) offer their customers to choose, but most likely, they hear about any for the first time.
F. Do not overload the payment page with unnecessary links
The buyer should not be distracted by unnecessary information and leave the payment instrument selection page. This breaks the conversion chain and negatively affects the proportion of successfully paid orders.
G. Let customers checkout as guests
Do you need to force a user to remember another login and password? I don’t think so. You should not create another obstacle to the client’s way of payment. Forcing users to register an account on your site is too obsessive, especially for first-time buyers. Mandatory registration is another winner of the “killer conversion” rating.
Usability research conducted by Smashing Magazine has shown that the main reason why users dislike registering accounts is waiting for unwanted spam. The study also noted that many customers do not understand why they need to register at an online store to buy something, while in offline stores they do not require registration when buying. Another disadvantage of registration is that it adds a few additional fields to fill, which delays the process of ordering and negatively affects the conversion. To make life easier for customers and increase the chances of a favorable outcome, it is necessary to minimize the customer’s time for ordering and request only the necessary minimum information from them.
In conclusion
The answer to increasing online sales is simple, use the tools listed above. All of the tips on internal and external factors we’ve covered in this article are based on a long experience with customers and the term of world-renowned online stores.
