You could use ffmpeg for the job. Not sure if it keeps ID3 tags though.

You have a link to a little walk through on that X? or should i just google 😀

google wins : ffmpeg -i flacfile.flac -acodec mp3 -ab 128 mp3file.mp3 - i can use that as a base 😀 will see if i can use wildcards

i just found two old programs on a disc, one is the flac gui which you need some old xp file for or it wont run and lamdropXPd 🙂 , ah - foobar, yes i forgot that had a conversion option in it 🙂 still wondering if i should use flac to convert them to wav first though, will run a few tests see whats what.

Being a rather helpful little fellow today arent you td - shame there is no rep system here eh 😀
