Joe Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 ciao amici, I'm a relative newbie when it comes to media formats and downloading of files. A friend of mine posted some live concert bootlegs on her ftp server and they are in FLAC format. I know there are conversion programs out there to turn those files into MP3s...however, when I paid $10 for one of those programs that "supposedly" converted all audio formats to MP3, it only functioned properly for WMA files. Feeling ripped off, I did nothing until I had the time this evening to reopen the search. If you know of a reputable way to convert FLAC files to MP3 format, for free if you can, would you please send me a pm? I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks, J.

Worker 11811 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 There are several options for playing FLAC files. 1) Cog. A free, open source audio multi-format audio player for OS X (10.4+) >> Available from Sourceforge.net << >> Link to Download Page << 2) MPlayer. An open source multi-media player for many platforms. >> Information Page << >> Download Page << 3) There are codecs for Quicktime from www.xiph.org , although I have yet to test them on FLAC files, myself. >> Check them out here << >> Download them Here << 4) And finally, there is the cross-platform Video LAN (VLC) from www.videolan.org -- My favorite! >> Download Here << If at least one of those links doesn't get you to a site that will help you play your files, NOTHING will!
