    ffmpeg and if you need a graphical version, WinFF.
    If the only reason you think your software is better is because it's FOSS, you need to write better software

    I agree with the recommendation for Sound Converter. It's super easy to use and converts basically anything to anything.

    be sure to get soundconverter and not soundkonverter. soundkonverter is unable to convert to mp3

    Excuse me if I`m wrong about this, but I take it you want to convert flac to mp3 so that you can put the song(s) on an mp3 player.

    If you load your mp3player with banshee, it will convert it for you.

    This saves you having 2 copies of your music library. Actually I mean 3 copies because you have a backup.

    @nothingspecial

    Is it me or ubuntuforums are having problem? It seems last new thread was created 8 hours ago in absolute beginner section and my user Control panel is not updating Subscriptions. Are you having the same problems mate? Thanks

    Indeed, it seems only existing thread may be responded to.. and new posts aren't visible, even though they do exist, I guess.
    Pretty strange.

    And the quote button doesn't work either.
