Keep your iPod always updated with the freshest music.
An amazing utility for every music lover, Ovolab AAChoo converts all your songs to AAC, the new high-quality and compact audio format at the core of MPEG-4, with an easy drag-and-drop interface and full control over every encoding parameter.

 

You'll never need anything else.
Ovolab AAChoo can encode any kind of sound file in AAC format: feed it AIFF, movie, WAV files. Plus, it does not require QuickTime Pro.
Whether you are compacting your music library to make room for more songs, or ripping again your CDs for a better sound quality, Ovolab AAChoo provides the full spectrum of options.

 

Make room for quality.
AAC (which stands for Advanced Audio Coding, part of the MPEG-4 specification) is the cutting-edge audio codec that's perfect for the Internet. AAC encoding compresses much more efficiently than older formats and delivers quality rivaling that of uncompressed CD audio.
Ovolab AAChoo gives you more control than iTunes over the conversion process, even allowing you to choose a higher-quality encoding. The result? A richer, cleaner sound.

All at once.
Drop a file, a folder, a CD. Ovolab AAChoo will encode it automatically to the location you desire, while preserving your folder hierarchies if you want so.

 

No mix other than the one you like.
Your iTunes music library will be automatically updated with the new songs. No need to remove duplicates, search for files or rebuild your playlists. Then, simply plug in your iPod to update it.

Tags, tags, tags.
Your song information won't get lost: name, artist and album information will be preserved by Ovolab AAChoo.

Plus, Ovolab AAChoo can also encode audio in 3GPP format! 3GPP is the new worldwide standard for sharing multimedia content between cell phones, PDAs and computers. It features high quality at extremely low bitrates and is perfect for encoding speech. Send your audio and video to friends with 3G cell phones!
