Brian,
You're right - flac2mp3 is not for everybody. You need to be at least
comfortable with running perl scripts at the command line to use it.
I wrote it not because there are no flac->mp3 convertors out there, but
because I wanted something that could keep a directory full of flac
files syncronised with a directory full of converted mp3 files without
having to re-convert all the flacs everytime I run the conversion.
When I add new files to my flac library, I run flac2mp3 on the whole
library and it can detect the new files and convert them. It also
detects if I've just changed any tags in the flac files and can re-write
the mp3 tags without running the whole flac->mp3 conversion process.
As I've got around ??? flac files, this represents a considerable
time-saving for me!
Having said that, if I can I find a free/commercial GUI-driven tool that
has this functionality I'll use it!
BTW, I'm about to release a new version of flac2mp3 that adds a couple
of tagging fixes. I must get round to packaging it up and doing a release.
R.
