Free online SPX to MP3 converter

SPX is an audio file format commonly used for speech and voice recordings, usually encoded with the Speex codec. It is designed for efficient compression of spoken audio, often at low bitrates. MP3 is one of the most widely supported audio formats, suitable for music, podcasts, and general playback on nearly all devices and players.

Why convert spx to mp3

Converting SPX to MP3 makes speech recordings easier to play on phones, media players, browsers, and editing software that may not support Speex directly. MP3 also offers broad compatibility for sharing and archiving.

Best software for conversion

The best all-around choice is FFmpeg, because it is fast, free, reliable, and supports both formats. For a graphical interface, VLC media player can also convert audio files, though FFmpeg is usually more precise and flexible.

How to convert spx to mp3 with ffmpeg
