Shibathedog Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 I'm trying to burn an MP3 CD for a friend but a lot of the music I have is only in FLAC. (You can't get it in any other format, it's some independent stuff) Is there a decent program for converting FLAC files to MP3 with as little quality loss as possible? (I know there will be some, just trying to minimize it)
ken_cinder Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 I use DB PowerAmp, for the same reason to play MP3 CDs in my car.
Agozer Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Use a FLAC-LAME combo with flac -d -c "filename.flac" | lame --preset standard - "filename.mp3" if you want better than VBR ~190kbps, use --preset extreme or insane
Weirdy Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 you could always convert to wav and do an accurate burn As for flac to, well, anything. I'll use foobar2000 along with a CLI encoder (e.g. lame.exe)

It's too inconsistent in algo quality, and hard drives aren't tiny anymore...320kbps CBR or nothing.
Fatal Rose Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Which one is the most simplistic and beyond easy to use?

Most of my stuff is in either CBR or VBR, and I don't really care about "inconsistencies in algo quality".
