Flac Files

[thewizeard]

Any one know what the best format is to convert to mp3s, and what soft-ware? :)

If there is anyone , please check your pm box, ..not saying there is ...

i use dbpoweramp

[suprafreak6]

i use dbpoweramp

as do i...and have been for the longest time

Right, thank you, now, I want to bring them back up to flac, how do I do that..oh and when I convert them to say 192 or higher, how can I check the actual quality...?

[Dr.Pretentious]

Right, so you converted some FLAC files to MP3 and now you want to convert them back.

I don't know why I ever needed more proof that you're a complete mentalist.

[Proper Bo]

:lol:

[Alien5]

i use dbpoweramp same

[thewizeard]

Funily enough, I was just thinking out loud and my computer posted that without me having any physical contact with me keyboard...

[thewizeard]

It's been going on for some time now.. it's a handicap like..

[Alien5]

Right, thank you, now, I want to bring them back up to flac, how do I do that..oh and when I convert them to say 192 or higher, how can I check the actual quality...? you can use audiochecker to find the quality or gspot

This is getting interesting, could you continue and explain gspots?

..Did you realise the last 4 words were in code and according to one of two famous number systems, add up to 72 . Also if you subtract one from the other you end up with?

[Alien5]

confusion? :unsure:

[SKGunners]

i use dbpoweramp sameMe too.

[thewizeard]

OK, the software I am aware of, now how about the best format?

[mbucari1]

OK, the software I am aware of, now how about the best format?I prefer flac to listen to at home, but do use mp3's for my portable player. To convert them, I use a program called WINLAME. (http://winlame.sourceforge.net/) It is a Lame encoder w/ a nice interface and open source. It is very self explanatory. Just drag and drop files or directories, and choose how to convert them. I usually use variable bitrate w/ quality set to 2 and standard encoding quality.

/me always ignores advice from (ex) traders, especially those that show little understanding toward Skweeky; still you might come in handy in case JPaul or manker suddenly pop - up.. perhaps you could continue after all. I am a constant bit rate man myself, colons aside...

Anyway, I always thought flac concerned collateral damage.

Anyway, I always thought flac concerned collateral damage.Take my input or leave it, I don't really care. If you don't want help from me, maybe you can get it from the guide (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-guides-and-tutorials-65/t-making-high-quality-mp3-files-7732) that's been posted in the guides section for years.

I noticed a hardening in your tone! Also this thread was indeed a coded thread for someone who refuses to check his pm box. I actually know the answer and the answer is never change flac files they are great and it's a shame. We are in the time of broadband right? Who needs stingy 128s and recodes?

As for never changing flac to mp3, I totally agree. Disk space and bandwidth are cheap, so there should be no reason to need mp3's anymore. I don't download them if I can avoid it.

Good gracious we agree on something..I really must check my priciples now..you have me cornered mbucari1 :)

Good gracious we agree on something..I really must check my principles now..you have me cornered mbucari1 :)lol

PS. I corrected the spelling of "principles" (assuming that's what you meant)

[thewizeard]

He did; he also said you are platinum blonde and available.

[mbucari1]

He did; he also said you are platinum blonde and available.Oh my! Are you interested?:wub:

Why don't you drop me a line and we can get to know each other a LOT better.:lips:

I'll be waiting...

[thewizeard]

I am not into blondes I prefer something with more body and common sence.

[mbucari1]

[Barbarossa]

i use dbpoweramp

as do i...and have been for the longest time

Is it excessively slow :blink:

[thewizeard]

What then is the best format. I was considering using Adobe.Audition.v2.0-ZWTiSO ... now I need a guide... My own mp3 files are mostly ripped to 192 KBS or 320 KBs. (CBR)

[Proper Bo]

As far as I'm aware, FLAC files are lossless files. If you encode a file from mp3 to FLAC it will just be an oversized mp3 with no quality increase as it was already compressed to whatever bitrate to begin with.

Also, adobe audition isn't what you want for simply converting files, it can do it but it's more for audio production (ie you'd barely be using any of the program's features). There are a lot simpler programs which will convert stuff.

[Alien5]

an mp3 of a flac is shite

a flac of an mp3 is also shite

a flac from anything cd quality upwards is what you need.

Well said :). I likes me lossless

Thanks Bo :)

What I did read somwhere is that with that proggy, I can check the quality of my files.. for recodes etc...

[Dr.Pretentious]

Is the Dreamweaver joke still funny?

You can but it's way more than you'd need for simply encoding files, it's basically an audio production/multitracker program...

...not what you're looking for unless you're planning on editing the music itself.

[Proper Bo]

What you want is dBpowerAMP, it's nice and simple to use too

Yes, yes it is, but not as funny as calling someone a massive gay :smilie4:

[Snee]

Pics.

Gorgeous blondes up against the wall, ftw.

It's Lucy Punch.

It's to show that my taste in women is much finer than you massive gays.

There needs to be an apostrophe on the end there.

That might be true, I think you should have added a link to Skweeky's A complete guide to English language . http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-lounge-10/t-a-complete-guide-english-language-189519/page4#post2053804

The reason being is clear. First you are off-topic and two off -thread...

[thewizeard]

Thanks Proper Bo, I could actually understand what you said . So the interface looks logical so I will try it. It's a program you have to pay for I thought. So next I need to know who has dBpowerAMP Pro shared

Oh and the best format to convert to? :) I was thinking either 192 CBR or 320 CBR

[Proper Bo]

I use mp3 (usually 192kbs).
It makes most sense for me because they don't take too much hard disk space (adds up to a lot when you've got about 15,000 tracks), they work on my pda/dvd player/car radio etc. and unless you've got a stupendously fantastical sound system, you won't be able to tell much (if any) difference between a high bitrate mp3 and a FLAC file.

[thewizeard]

I bet if I trans-coded one flac file into an mp3, 192 or even higher; musicmaster, callum and Rocktron, would remove me from their friends lists on SoulSeek.... still for angels that do fear to tread, I would still like to learn how to use this dBpowerAMP.... Proper Bo, cheers m8

That's by far the most sensible post you have ever made. By a long, long way.

Either that or I've caught idiot.

I don't think so, unless we've both caught idiot, and I don't see how that can have happened. :blink:

[Mr JP Fugley]

It is sexually transmitted ... so.

[thewizeard]

Proper Bo could be visiting Lamsey..that could be a possible explanation..

[Mr JP Fugley]

Nah, Lamsey refuses any contact with people from this forum. He says we disgust him big-style.

[thewizeard]

Erm Lilmiss then, Proper Bo is actually Lilmiss in disguise?
