[Mr Do]

How to I convert my flac files to another format such as ogg or aac? I used Eac with lame to rip my cd's to flac and I also have winamp and foobar. Please help.

Thanks
Brian

DBPowerAmp is a good option. Just download the appropriate codecs.

 

[Mr Do]

Thanks for you help. I will try that now.

Do!

you can also use foobar for transcoding

dbpoweramp is great.

...after i reinstalled it when i right click a song there's no "convert to" anymore. anyone know how i can get this back? doesnt matter much

Solid tiny program.

I've used foobar, frontah or DBpoweramp.... all are freeware, and work well, slight preference going to foobar.

I'm just investigating the same thing. What gives foobar the slight edge in your book?

Is there any way to automate the process:

CD => .wav => .flac => .ogg

So that you delete the .wav and maintain the .flac and .ogg files?

It would also be helpful to generate a cue sheet. Seems like you have to do this in steps:

CD => .flac via EAC
Create cue sheet via EAC
Convert .flac to .ogg

Any other solutions?

I have been using EAC to create the FLAC and foobar to create the Ogg file.

I think that there is a plugin for foobar that uses EAC for ripping, although it may be experimental, which might make it possible to do all in one or two steps and at least just one program. As for cue sheets I think that if you embed the cue in the .flac metadata(which I'm pretty sure you can do) foobar might pass the cue sheet to the .ogg's when you convert, but I'm not sure.

Don't forget the MONKEY

MediaMonkey that is. I absolutely love this program for ripping, converting, cataloging, tagging, and synching all my digital media with my portable.

MediaMonkey looks good but it doesn't convert to FLAC or some other losses format. So, it would still require some other program after you rip to .wav from cd.

You might try MAREO it allows for multiple encoding apps to run after an EAC rip.
