    Wouldn't that cause a lot of sound loss?

    Not necessarily. 16bit is still pretty good.

    Do you need to do this in a program? There are tons of utilities around for this sort of thing. Some are good for batch converting a directory of files.

    Need to do this through VB myself. Not via utilities etc..

    I think you can probably do this with DirectShow using the FileWriter filter. Never done it myself, but might be worth looking into...

    You can use ACM. See the vocoder project in my signature. There is the class that performs the conversion between PCM formats.
