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.

you can use audiochecker to find the quality or gspotQuote:

..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?Quote:

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. 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.Quote:

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 that's been posted in the guides section for years.Quote:

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?
Yes, my tone is hardening because you've been on my case for days now.Quote:

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

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.
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 losslessQuote:
