MediaCoder should be able to convert them. Or more info about flac: http://flac.sourceforge.net/

Flac is a lossless compresion for audio.

Noahtuck, That link for TLH doesn't work anymore and ALL links seem to point to it alone. Do you have a copy? (If that's OK...)

You can always try BonkEnc (http://www.bonkenc.org/ ). I can't remember if CDex will do it with a Winamp FLAC plugin installed. Winamp certainly will.

Of course, I think they do have basic encoders/decoders (and probably links to more converters) at the FLAC homepage.

The dbPowerAmp converter should also do it, with FLAC support installed, though I'm not sure about the recent versions, since they've changed a lot.

aruwin: If you're primarily just interested in listening to the music in FLAC format, most of the recent software players (such as Winamp, foobar, xmplay, etc.) should be able to play them - though you may need to have a plugin installed for your specific player.

Foobar2000 can do it. So can Audacity, both are free.

And the link to the direct DL is near the bottom of the page.

Let me see if i can upload the install exe here....
been ahwile since i uploaded a zip or file other than a photo here so it may take a second to get it right

Edit:
Okay, that did not work, said page not found here on Vhelp.
Let me try it in a zip.

To heck with it, here's a link to it on a filesharing site

Nice little program, i used to use Flac frontend but pretty much use this exclusively now, as it handles pretty much all lossless forms if audio compression/archiving.

Traders of lossless compressed audio files (e.g. ape, flac, mkw, or shn files) have to handle a lot of different applications to decode, encode, create/verify checksums, fix sector boundary errors, or create torrent files. Moreover some are command line programs requiring a deeper knowledge of how to use various parameters. Trader's Little Helper bundles all the important features of those applications in one single easy-to-use frontend.

THANKS!

Or have a look at dBPowerAmp that uses plug-ins for each format it supports so they can and do get updated without having to update the main software

It now also supports multi-core processors, very high quality conversion and a lot, lot more. Like support nearly 99% of all portable MP3 players including Apple's

You can convert to or from any format it supports, including the more common lossless formats I come acroos like APE, SHN and FLAC, and will easily convert them back to WAV or MP3 very quickly

Yes, there's a FLAC plugin for winamp. Google for FLAC WinAmp.

Plain ol' Windows Media Player can do flac files if you install the OGG codecs. Google that for more info.
