Just read this article about my file converter app! Thanks for the amazing review and spotlight!
It's brought in a surge of new audio engineer users, so I will be adding even more audio conversions to the app in the coming weeks.

Every “free” file converter online = your files sent to some random server.
So I made my own. Runs locally as an app on Mac, Windows and Linux.
Now 1,100 users use it for 3,742 types of conversions.
