Cons: Demo can only convert up to 2 minutes per file

Xilisoft Audio Converter free trial

Unfortunately, you can’t use this application without purchasing a license beforehand. However, you’ll be glad to know that there’s a free demo you can download and try on your PC. On the other hand, it can’t convert more than 2 minutes of each file you import.

Thus, you can grow accustomed to the program by making use of its features for as long as you want, since there’s no time limit. Moreover, the file duration restriction doesn’t affect the functionality of the app to the point that it can impair your understanding of it.

How to install Xilisoft Audio Converter

You can locate and download the installer executable quite easily. Assuming that you did that successfully, you can start the setup process by launching the installer. You’ll notice that you have to go through several steps to complete the setup.

However, the installation is intuitive enough that even beginner users can understand and operate it regardless of their PC skills or previous experience with similar software. The steps only involve accepting the license agreement, defining the destination path and configuring shortcut creation behavior.

Simplistic interface

Xilisoft Audio Converter’s interface makes sure that you can’t go wrong with your conversion, regardless of your level. Notice that the main screen holds a central file browser, a bunch of configuration menus, and a playback section.

The main screen cleverly fuses traditional menus, quick-access toolbar buttons, and even context menus (right-click any imported item). The program offers you a clear view of what’s going on, so you can be on top of the conversion operation without significant efforts.

How to use Xilisoft Audio Converter

First of all, you have to import a source file. Click the music note button and point to a valid audio file on your PC. Alternatively, you can click the small arrow button next to the music note one and import a whole folder’s worth of documents.

Choose an output profile for the file you wish to convert from the designated menu. You can create your own profile from the section on the right, and maybe even add lyrics to your songs.

Define a destination path on your PC by using the Destination menu. Make sure that you have writing permissions for that path. Once you’re satisfied with your configuration, just click the conversion button. It looks like two arrows chasing each other and you can find it in the toolbar.

Handy audio converter with added functionality

All things considered, if you’re looking for a versatile tool that can let you convert audio content on your PC, Xilisoft Audio Converter might be what you need. Not only it can convert audio files to other formats, but it also lets you extract audio from video files, and even edit the ID3 tag of your documents.

Although it’s a premium product and requires a paid license to run, you can also download and try a free, limited version. However, there’s a catch: you can’t convert more than 2 minutes per file.
