Which OS ?

I find flacs can be tricky bugger, don't give them any slack or they will rip you off.

Itunes works well enough

" Rat's flacist ! "

dbpoweramp for PC

XLD for Mac

In itunes you just select your whole playlist, right click, and convert all to flac.

Yeah, iTunes is the best media player when it comes to flac.

if you know what's good for you:

install foobar

download this and dump lame.exe in foobar's install dir

dump flacs into a playlist

select all -> right click -> convert

change the output format/quality to whatever you want

distination: specify your music dir. enter this in the 'convert each track to an individual file' bit: $left($stripprefix(%artist%),1)\%album artist%\$year(%date%) - %album%\$if(%discnumber%,%discnumber%-)$if(%tracknumber%,%tracknumber%). %title%

save that and right click -> convert to use it

Pirate them on MP3

foobar did the trick

Max works pretty well on OS X, too

I use it all the time to convert flac to alac for itunes; only takes a few seconds

Plus it's from sbooth.org, and what's more IDM than S Booth?

I use dbpoweramp on windows. it's fantastic and is one of the few programs I've ever paid for.

Yeah, but that's because you thought it said dppowerbottom
