We have already written a separate article on Adapter App, that is an all in one converter app for Mac and Windows. You can download the app for free, and convert unlimited number of files without any restriction. The app has the ability to convert multiple files at the same time. Here is an example;

- I will drag all 6 files and drop into Adapter app (regardless of what format they are)

Method 2 : Mac Users Only (with iMovie App)
Mac users can use iMovie application to convert any audio file to MP3 format. However, you need to convert each file separately, else Mac is going to mix the audio file, and spoil the conversion. Add one file to iMovie, convert it to MP3, and then delete the file from iMovie. Now add another file, and repeat the process. Mac can convert AAC to MP3, M4A to MP3 and WAV to MP3. iMovie app doesn’t support OGG, WMA and FLAC format. We have already written an article how you can use iMovie to convert video file, like MP4 to Mp3. You need to follow the same process to convert any audio file to MP3. Instead of adding a video, you can add audio file.
