I'd like to get flac2mp3 working on my collection. Trouble is I know very little about Perl, unix etc. I'm comfortable with doing things in the command line when I need to if given very explicit instructions. Is there somewhere where there are step by step instructions for Mac OS X? Specific questions:
Do I need to install Perl? Or is this already installed if I'm running SqueezeCenter? I'm looking at the system info shown in my sig below. Looks like I have this? In what directory do I need to put the flac2mp3 archive (v0.3.0rc1)? Would that be /opt/local/bin? This archive has everything that flac2mp3 needs to run? I understand there are GUI solutions for people like me. I've heretofore used Foobar on another machine for much of my transcoding, but the machine running SC isn't Intel, so I use Foobar over the LAN which is two slow for a massive transcoding operation like this. flac2mp3 also seems like the most elegant solution to the problem of ongoing maintainance. Thanks in advance for any help and for your patience with my ignorance of these matters. -- bephillips More than 40,296 songs on 2,789 albums by 2,126 artists. Mostly flac, some mp3 and aac.
