FLAC may be the perfect format for music storage with its far superior quality, hardly any players support it. Especially my OEM in-dash player in the car. So it is necessary to convert. The batch file below will convert the FLAC to MP3 via WAV and tag from the original, assuming the correct pieces are installed as demonstrated. I have it loaded into a batch file which I have placed in my Send-To folder for easy right-click/convert use.
"C:\Program Files\FLAC\flac.exe" -d %1 -o temp.wav"c:\program files\lame\lame.exe" -V2 temp.wav %1.mp3del temp.wav"C:\Program Files\Lame\Tag\tag.exe" %1.mp3 --fromfile %1 pause
By the way, do go out of your way to find the version of LAME that is compiled for your specific CPU. My Q6600 does VBR2 at 28x. I literally cannot rip as fast as it encodes from CDs. (Note: while there is a multi-threaded version, mp3 encoding is really a single-threaded operation, so quad-core just means I can encode 4 streams at once.)
