Eufony Free FLAC MP3 Converter is a fast and effective audio encoder that can transform your FLAC collection into standard quality, compact MP3 files. Both selection and conversion processes are simple and fast, allowing you to batch convert any amount of FLAC files in one single operation.
Going from FLAC to MP3 may seem a not-very-obvious conversion process, but it is sometimes the only way FLAC lovers can listen to their favorite music in certain portable devices. Re-encoding lossless audio into a lossy format such as MP3 is just as “bad” as ripping your CDs into this same format for portability reasons – you will certainly loose audio quality, but it will open up a world of possibilities. Thus, though FLAC has become the de facto standard for lossless compression, popular devices such as iPod do not support it. Instead of de-compressing your FLAC files to WAV and compress them back into MP3, this free tool allows you to perform the whole encoding process in one go.
The decoding-encoding speed is surely its main asset, and also its clear, colorful interface, which lets you see at a glance the most relevant information of each audio track (bit rate, length, channels, size, etc.). It also includes a handy audio player that plays back both FLAC and MP3 files.
This convenient tool has only one serious limitation – the output quality of the MP3 files it creates is set to CBR 128 kpbs. High-quality audio fans may find this is a clear drawback for using this tool, but they must not forget that this is a free tool - beggars can’t be choosers.
