jhonny Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I've been using Super but the latest version doesn't seem to have installed properly and I find it a bit annoying. is there a decent freeware (completely free) piece of software for encoding audio. Mainly I want to take FLACs and re-encode as Apple Lossless/M4A. Apologies if jazz, thanks!

BCM Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 you on a mac? I just use an app simply called "MP3 Converter" that I found on the App Store for free.... works like a treat and handles FLAC, AAC, MP3, M4a etc etc Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide BCM's signature Hide all signatures Bandcamp | Spotify | SoundCloud | Amazon | Apple Music | YouTube | YouTube Music | Deezer | Google Play Music Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/73584-free-software-for-encoding-mp3s-etc-etc/#findComment-1813114 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobDobalina Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 N00b way: Try this: http://www.audio-transcoder.com/convert-flac-to-alac Dork way: use the qaac command-line encoder Here's a post at hydrogenaudio that describes how to use it with foobar We won't judge you either way.

Guest Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 (edited) IMO, dbpoweramp music converter is the best of the lot. It's easy to use, there are free codecs for pretty much every format (including all of the lossless and lossy apple formats), it has multi-core support (IE you can convert four songs at once with a quad-core), etc. edit: not free though lol. it has a trial, but seriously, I highly recommend you just pirate it.

Kanakori Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 I actually paid for dbpoweramp and it worked better when I had the pirated version.

Guest algo Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 looks like foobar2000 + nero aac encoder would work as well http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=56533 Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/73584-free-software-for-encoding-mp3s-etc-etc/#findComment-1814818 Share on other sites More sharing options...
