Re: [slim] Advice Please - FLAC to MP3

In foobar2000's converter "Destination" settings you can tell it to write new files to "Source track folder". You want new RG tags calculated after conversion as they will likely not be the same. All other tags copy over.

thanks gary. It appears that there is a way to do it. I sometimes use Switch Sound File Converter which let's me convert and select out to same folder-it's just slow. It appears that niether it nor foobar retains replaygain tags. I may need to redo those. It appears that I may need to do this

Played around this morning converting copies of FLAC files to Mp3 using Foobar-about 8 folders. I like the fact that it retains tags. What I did not like is that it converted the files but did not put the converted files in the original folders which is what I want to happen. Am I missing a

I rip to ALAC instead of FLAC. Itunes will automatically transcode the ALAC files down to lossy AAC files during syncing. It will give you the option to choose the bitrate and do all the work. The nice thing is you only need one library for your i-devices and Squeezeboxes since LMS handles

Re: [slim] Advice Please - FLAC to MP3

a deteil, that is very useful for me with foobar: i tag my music carefully and when i convert good tagged flac-files into mp3, foobar copy also all tags. normally i have to tag all mp3's again. with foobar all tags are copied too and i don't have to tag all files again.

Re: [slim] Advice Please - FLAC to MP3

I have never had an Android phone music player that doesnt actually play FLAC files, even where they state that they are unsupported. Wouldn't bother with converting to MP3 for Android therefore - if playing your iPod through some type of connecotr to the car radio, you also don't need to convert

Re: [slim] Advice Please - FLAC to MP3

Personally, I would convert your iPod to Rockbox & continue to use FLAC files - its dead easy & you preserve the quality to an amazing extent. The difference is clearly 'seen' when you use earphones on the iPod. Else I would use either DBPowerAmp or foobar200 - use both for different stuff &

Re: [slim] Advice Please - FLAC to MP3

I've used flac2mp3 for years. https://github.com/robinbowes/flac2mp3 Set up the location of your MP3 converter and just fire it off. It will convert what it needs to and ignore what it doesn't in the same directory tree.

dbpoweramp for me, too. It's been awhile since I've done this, but I think you can rip a CD to both FLAC and mp3 at the same time if you know you want a lossy version. 2-SB3s, 1-Touch, and a Raspberry Pi B+ with TekDevice dacBerry 3+ running piCorePlayer. Mac Mini as a server (OS X
