All you have to do is: 1) download and install 'ActiveState Perl' (http://www.activestate.com/Products/activeperl/index.mhtml) on your computer 2) download and install 'flac2mp3.pl' (http://projects.robinbowes.com/download/flac2mp3/) (download one of the zip files) 3) download and install 'FLAC' (http://flac.sourceforge.net) and 'LAME' (http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Lame_Encoder.htm). If you put them in the same folder as flac2mp3.pl then you can skip step 4 and go right to step 5. 4) edit these lines in flac2mp3.pl to point to the folder(s) where you installed LAME and FLAC 5) open a command (DOS) window and run the command
-FLAC2MP3.PL <FLACDIR> <MP3DIR>- where <flacdir> is the top-level folder for your FLAC files and <mp3dir> is the top-level folder where you want to put the MP3s. 6) let it run. With hundreds of CDs it might take a couple days....

It just won't do the album art. Yet. Ant;369257 Wrote: > Surely I am missing something simple or can the transcoders really not > achieve this? I really can't face re-ripping all those cd's.... Don't re-rip. Using one of the transcoders like flac2mp3 or dbpoweramp and then putting in the album art via mp3tag will be much less of a chore than re-ripping. -- aubuti Nothing high-end, but music anywhere I want it.
