Soundconverter seems like a great program for converting these files. It even used both my cores when converting--I saw my cpu monitor maxed out for the first time! Great tutorial.

What is amazing is the speed. Using MediaMonkey on my Windows laptop, converting a CD was a 12-15 minute process. This sound converter in Ubuntu did a CD in 1:35 minutes. The thermometer bar moved so quickly, I thought that it was for one song as that would be the normal pace. It's just amazing that an entire CD was converted from FLAC to MP3 in that small amount of time. Thanks for your awesome advice. What is amazing is the speed.

Sadly the current version of iTunes does not perform the conversion. There is, however, a very, very simple way to do this on Linux, OS X and Windows platforms. Audacity is freeware, the appropriate platform version can be downloaded from http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/. This is a one program two step process. 1) Open the .flac file 2) Export as an .mp3 It really is as simple as that. This is cross-platform, extremely simple and relatively fast (about 30 minutes for a full CD's worth on a 1.6 GHz processor) and aside form anything else Audacity is a superb piece of software.

No idea on the OS X possibility, but if you get it working write a post on it. You can then post a comment on my article linking back to yours, and we'll be even ;-) Yeah, I don’t usually spam my own blog in other blog’s comments, but the two articles relate very closely.

I wonder how much of a hassle it would be to port/setup in OS X.... Justin,

I just posted over on my blog a way to convert FLAC to MP3 on the fly without having to keep the MP3 around after you copy it off to your player.
