A Good FLAC Converter?

**Janszoon** · 08-20-2011, 09:01 PM

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.
