Seriously? 29.95? For a front end to a GPLed format? Who's trying to rip off unknowing customers?

FLAC is a FREE excellent Open Source lossless digital format & utility package, and I rip all of my CDs to FLAC. Using Exact Audio Copy (also free) to accurately & easily rip albums. Or, very simply, FLAC.EXE is an easy to use command line program [ try for %f in (C:\AlbumName\*.WAV) do flac -8 "%f" ], or find one of the many free GUI front-ends out there.

WinAmp, Foobar, and pretty much all music player apps have a FLAC plug-in. WinAmp & Foobar will do the conversions if you need it to. Some portable MP3 players will play FLACs. Try it... you may never switch back to WAVs or crappy MP3s.

Very limited software. There are many free audio converters that can convert from any format to any format, so selling a program ($30!) that can convert only from FLAC to MP3 is a nonsense. I use the converter integrated in foobar2000 (free) to do all my conversions, as it works very well, it copies all tags on the fly, and it can compute the reply gain automatically after the operation. And foobar is so powerful!

BTW, if you really want to convert your lossless audio files to a lossy format, use a descent format such as OGG. MP3 is probably the worst lossy encoder currently available, especially if the converter is not based on the free LAME MP3 encoder.

The program installed without fuss on my XP (SP2) PC

1) The program's interface is simple and looks reasonably attractive
2) It not only converts to MP3 but various other common formats as well such as WMA and OGG
3)It converted my sample file with no problems, however it immediately opens the output folder which threw me off (since it happened so fast I thought it may have crashed. I would recommend having a button to open the folder instead.
4)The audio files you should be expecting to convert would be massive, since a 1MB flac file turned out to be 3 seconds long

There are free alternatives to this software such as:

1)Cool FLAC to MP3 Converter

and

2)Free FLAC to MP3 Converter
http://www.boxoft.com/flac-to-mp3/

My overall opinion is that this software is overpriced, but it performs well. I have no need for this so it's time to uninstall :)

I don't understand the use of a converter that can only convert FLAC to mp3. Almost every audio converter, both free & paid, can do this and many more. There are some people who has a music collection in FLAC format, but majority of us use MP3 or AAC. And if I have a song in FLAC format, which is loseless audio, why would I want to deteriorate its quality except space problem?

The publisher might want to remove the ESET blacklisting.
