I need someone to recomend some FLAC software and a free program so that i can dowload some of the files.
Thank You!

Get Foobar2000 (http://www.foobar2000.org/?page=Download) . It reads FLACs without any extra plugins.

If you want to convert to mp3, you'll need the Lame 3.98.2 mp3 bundle (http://www.rarewares.org/mp3-lame-bundle.php). Copy the 2 files (lame_enc.dll and lame.exe) to your foobar components folder after you install and there you go. Open the FLAC files in foobar, and if you want to convert them to mp3, just right-click and convert! (select convert, "...", tell it where you want to save, pick your output format, and how you want it to format the file names--I just use %title%, but you might want %album% %title% .)


If you want to make FLAC files, I know people like to use Exact Audio Copy, but I don't ever make FLACs, so someone else can tell you that.

I'm assuming that's what you were asking?

I use Foobar to make wav. and then I compress the wav. into mp3 through EAC. Are you saying that Foobar can create the mp3 and I don't even need to use EAC? Where would I find the foobar components folder? Thanks.

The default folder to install foobar2000 is

C:\Program Files\foobar2000

Your components folder should be in that directory (i.e. C:\Program Files\foobar2000\Components) , unless you chose to install it somewhere else.

Winamp?
:puppydog:

I have no idea. I don't really like winamp. Anyone else?

AIMP2 FTW

I like winamp interface in it's classic skin, it's light and nice, in terms of funcionality, AIMP2 Kicks ass, so if people like winamp, they can download the winamp classic skin for AIMP2. Besides AIMP doesn't need plugins to read FLAC either.

It looks pretty cool. I've never heard of that one before. Does it play or have a plugin for game music files like .nsf, .psf, .spc and the like?

Unfortunately not.... But I've never found that format necesary. So AIMP covers my needs.
Foobar is kinda weird to me, appears to be more a converter than a player xD.

oh. It's pretty different, (foobar, I mean) and it takes some getting used to. There is a UI called "columns" that makes it a little more organizational. I use the weird VGM formats all the time, but that AIMP looks like a solid player.
