A Good FLAC Converter?
 
Does anyone know of a good program to convert FLAC files to MP3 on a Mac? I downloaded one but it only reads FLAC files not CUE files so when I convert an album to MP3 it just gives me the album as one giant track. Any suggestions?

I'm interested in finding one as well... I'll keep an eye out.

I use Koyote Soft for general file conversion, works just fine for FLAC as far as I can tell.

Is it able to read CUE files so that the FLAC files split up into individual songs?

I've used Roxio Toast 10 on Mac, which is a good general all purpose Audio & Video Convertor. And I've also used Switch.

I think Roxio reads cue files, but I'm not 100% sure, but I've never really had to split a longer flac file into induvidual tracks, So I can't say for sure.

Okay, so now I have access to a Windows machine as well as a Mac. Anyone have a suggestion on a program for either OS that recognizes CUE files so that I can split an album-length FLAC into separate MP3s for each track?

So you'd recommend VCDGear then? I've never heard of it before but all the comments to the article seem to indicate that a lot of people have run into problems with it. Have your experiences been good though?

I don't use it. I simply wanted to help. I'll look more into other media players and see if I can find something more reliable.

This might also help. Split lossless audio (ape, flac, wv, wav) by cue file in Ubuntu « aidanjm’s stuff

I convert flac files with my foobar media player. I believe flac to ogg (f.ex) functionality comes with the install (check options when installing), but if you need mp3s, you may need to download an mp3 encoder, f.ex lame mp3 encoder, which you then point foobar to when prompted.

As for splitting up flacs from a cue file, I just use medieval cue splitter. It's free, simple to use and does the job well.
