I was just trying to do this the other day so I could listen to these songs on my iPod. That page is so retarded - 3 programs to convert Flac to MP3? Is that really necessary?
Try this: http://www.dbpoweramp.com/ That’s what I ended up using. Their converter is a trial version, but you can get it for free if you know what I mean.
The regular version of those two programs does the trick pretty nicely actually. I had the same initial reactions - really, I have to get WinAmp, and use iTunes, just to get these files to the right format? But… it worked, so I guess I can’t complain. I’m at work, so I’d rather not spend too much time browsing around ‘that kind’ of site.
