Takes a lot of folder space to do and a little additional time also, but ensures that I have a lossless file in the archive and a lossy file in the playback folder.Īnd to Mat: publishing in FLAC (only) is the best decision, because lossless formats are ideal for post-processing, which I do a not – bootlegs are unique, but very often the sound can be improved quite dramatically (to your liking) to a raw soundboard and in particular to an audience recording before you commit it to the playback folder – I will not call what I do for “remastering”, but more like “tampering with to suit my own taste”. So I convert my cd’s to FLAC, save them in a folder for source files, then convert them to m4a and saves them in a playback folder. However, I still use Media player for cd ripping – it is fast, has good lookup facilities for metadata and covers, and in the latest version it can now convert to FLAC directly. In the past I used Windows Media player, but it has its problems with metadata management and is no longer a good choice – too many files cannot be identified any longer. It also has a lot of presets for cleaning up stuff such as clicks and pops from vinyl, hum removal, noise reduction, equalization application, mastering etc, but the quality of the suggestions the presets or wizards come up with are somewhat questionable – they tend towards being too encompassing, also robbing away some of the quality of the sound in the process.įor playback I use (quite surprisingly) the Groove Music player from Microsoft, because it presents the albums graphically in a fairly simple layout, and does not alter any metadata, like some other music players do – it is very slow in indexing files though. However, Foobar2000 gives so many possibilities for tweaking files, dealing with sound quality issues, applying metadata etc, that almost all your “library” work can be accomplished from this single application – and there are quite some plugins that cater for very specialized demands as well.įor file splitting, recording of vinyl, channel balance adjustments, etc, I use Sound forge audio cleaning Lab 2019, which unfortunately is a commercial program, but not the most expensive. As a lossless format FLAC is perfect, but for universal playback the mp3 or m4a are preferable, so that is what I convert to – I have given up mp3 file format and switched to high quality m4a (which is meant to be the successor to mp3) as playback format, which is also supported by Foobar2000 – but again installation of the converter is quite a task. It can convert all sorts of sound file formats into most others. I had a new pc just 2 months ago, and it took me more a less a week to get Foobar2000 up and running like on the previous pc – I am not that bad when it comes to pc installation and setting up, and I had it on the previous pc and therefore already knew a lot about how it works.įoobar2000 is a program made for the enthusiast, not the occasional user – I use it every day, and to me it works as a dream. It is a freeware and meant to be HIGHLY configurable, so setting it up can be quite a nightmare, if you are not a PC savvy person – look up an installation instruction on youtube – you will find hundreds of videos outlining Foobar2000 setup. Supported Formats: Audio – FLAC, MP3, AAC, 3GA, WAV, OGG, M4A, AMR, WMA, AIFF, DTS, APE, M4R AC3, etc.| Video – MP4, AVI, AVCHD, WMV, FLV, MKV, ASF, SWF, DVD, H.264, H.265, MOV, VOB, DivX, etc.As a PC-only user, I use Foobar2000 for most things that deal with conversions, because it also contains a lot of additional functions such as equalizers, etc. The converted audio file will be saved in your Music folder, and you can double-click to play it or use MediaTrans, a versatile phone manager, to transfer the converted FLAC music to iPhone/iPad in a click. You can use it to convert FLAC files to MP3 AAC for iPhone, Android, Samsung or directly play FLAC files on Windows /Mac to enjoy lossless Hi-Res music.ĭrag'n drop FLAC files to this FLAC converter or download FLAC files from websites -> Move your mouse to the FLAC file -> Click the "Convert" button -> Choose the format like MP3 that you want to convert FLAC file to.
