FLAC 2 MP3

Sound quality is very important for most users, but, sometimes, for compatibility reasons or because of free disk space restrictions, the high-quality files have to be compressed to an inferior format. This conversion requires a special kind of utility that is able to read the source songs, FLAC, for example and then re-encode them into MP3.

Among the many tools especially created for this particular task you can find FLAC 2 MP3, a rather easy to use program that offers some basic features inside a simple interface. An important mention that has to be made from the get-go is that it will not operate just by itself since it needs the LAME and FLAC applications to function properly.

Adding files to the processing queue is done by picking the containing folder and there is noway of picking each song by hand. Only after the directory is designated and its content read by FLAC 2 MP3 will the identified items selectable.

After deciding which LAME tracks will get the makeover and be turned into MP3s, it's time to define the output location where the processed files will be saved, as well as the temporary folder that the software will utilize while working on the selected songs.

There is a special area inside the main window of FLAC 2 MP3 where you will be able to add the LAME encoding parameters and also configure the settings of the conversion process. With all the customizations complete, you can apply the changes and press the 'Process' button to initiate the transformation.

All things considered, this solution may seem a good one, but the fact that it depends on external tools to get the job done diminishes its value. Also, there could have been lots of other features included in the package to make the conversion more user friendly and offer users more options for personalizing the output.
