Looking for a .flac --> .mp3 Converter

Whats a good converter?

I googled for one but I dont trust half of the stuff that shows up since I never heard of it and its "shareware" or "freeware" so maybe it will do something mean like only convert half a track or something dumb like that.

 

Never tried it, but WinAmp can play FLAC and can convert to MP3 either through its own encoder or through the LAMEOut plug-in.

 

mediaconverter.org

TOTALLY FREE for the first 10 each day you use it

 

Winamp.

.

 

I use Foobar2000. You just have to download the encoder seperately. I recommend LAME for MP3s.

Edit - And just to give you an idea as to how it works, you add the files you want to convert into Foobar, right click -> Convert -> Convert to...

And it's pretty easy from there on out.

 

I have winamp and yes the newest version plays .flac nativity without downloading the plugin. I have used winamp to convert .wma into .mp3 in the past had to go to the output codec and set it from there I think.

Gonna go the winamp route and from that link to the codec I found this: http://www.free-codecs.com/out_lame_download.htm

Its the lame out plug in for winamp.

 

dB PowerAmp converts anything to anything. I think it will turn apples into oranges as well. I swear by it.

 

I used the winamp route it worked perfectly, just the naming got sort of messed up but it only took a minute to fix. I did a high quality varible bit rate on them and they sound great. Already made a CD with the MP3's and really enjoying my new lightscribe burner.

 

I totally agree... db Poweramp is the way to go.

 

dBpoweramp requires plugins for some of the advanced codecs. E.g. WMA 10 Professional.

But since the plugins are free anyways, i think, it's not an issue.
