flac is a lossless format, it loses no quality from the original cd... you find it on a few d/l sites now... i like it.

I've always used dBpowerAMP for converting FLAC to MP3, but I'll keep this way in mind.

This is great! I just downloaded a flac version of DJ Danger Mouse's "Grey Album" and wanted to convert it to a mp3. Will keep the flac version of course though :).

I've been using programs called "Magical Jelly Bean" and "Switch" for all of my audio conversions. "MJB" does SHN and FLAC conversions very efficiently......a quick and easy 4-step process that takes about 5 minutes, if that. I use "Switch" mostly for converting OGG format to MP3, and I believe it also does FLAC but not SHN. Use any search engine to find these freeware programs online. Peace.............

I've just built a vbscript that is a front end for the command line tools that will allow reflacing your files, decoding FLAC to WAV, Encoding WAV to FLAC, or converting FLAC to MP3. You can also use this to synchronize your FLAC library to MP3.
The script and instructions are available here:

I followed your guide, and it worked without a hitch. I'm just beginning to d/l torrent, and have found many file in FLAC, somewhat disappointed at first since my MP3 player and Itunes didn't know what they were. Now in MP3 format, and all is well in the world. Kept the originals too. Nice lossless backup. Thanks

Hey, I followed this tutorial just fine, and found that it did just as it said.
My only problem is now I can't get winamp to play files. I know this seems dumb, but how do i get it to play now instead of just convert? Everytime I press play, it just makes the .wav files.
Any help?

Well, after enough screwing around I found out that the fix for this is incredibly simple. In the plugins section under output, I had to change it back to "direct sound".
So this tutorial being geared toward totals novices is flawed in that it requires more than one application, and it doesn't instruct on reversing its steps. So good, but not perfect.
It got me going down the right path, and hopefully my noobness and comment helps someone.

This guide is useless if you don't have "Nullsoft Disk Writer plug-in" on your WinAmp. I made a search for that plugin at WinAmp's website and didn't find anything.. So Please update this guide to include instructions what to do if there's no such plugin. This is so frustrating..
And, I don't want to download any kind of shareware conversion software that can convert one file at at time and can't even save it. I know there's plenty of those...

Errrm chap its built in since well about the last 6 years.
Basically open winamp
--> Options --> Prefrences --> Output
Select the disk writer, you might want to check the configure options are right for what your outputting to, ie mp3/wav/samplerate etc.
Also once your done remember to select it back to direct sound or you will wonder what happened to all your audio later on ;)
Hope that helps :)

Um...I don't seem to have the disk writer plugin and I just downloaded the free version a moment ago.
all I see is this:
Can someone tell me why it's not there? I know it's supposed to be, but it simply is not.

Ok ive just actually reloaded my main machine, just downloaded winamp from:
http://download.nullsoft.com/winamp/clie...7plus_en-us.exe
and went to:
options --> prefrences --> output
I have disk writer, direct sound and wave out.
I can only assume you downloaded a cut down version and not winamp full

Thanks Plazma,
That did the trick, of course I always gravitate towards whatever option makes life more difficult for me. Does it make any difference that I haven't used Winamp in over 5 years?
No?
I'm still a n00b?
I tried....
Thanks again, props to you bro...

Hello,
Brand spanking newb here. I tried the new Convert FLAC to mp3 guide and encountered the following problem: the LAME.exe file does not appear to be in the LAME folder, even though a bazillion other files appear to be there in unzipped format. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks!
