Foobar2000 can do it. It's what I use to convert my flac to mp3 for my Sansa Fuze.
At a curiosity, is there a good FLAC --> WMA Lossless converter or if you can do it in Foobar, how would you set it up? I'm interested in putting music on my HTPC eventually, but the plugins for WMC/WMP FLAC playback aren't very good (no metadata displayed, etc...)
I use CueTools to do transcoding. It is free and a nice piece of software. It will also do the mp3 conversion for you and boasts many useful features like AccurateRip verification.
Thanks for the suggestion. My long-term goal is to eventually hook up some sort of stereo system to my HTPC, but part of that would be having my music in lossless format (where applicable) in a WMC friendly format - mp3 are good in WMC.
I normally use CDex though for ripping.
It seems that I have misinformed you. I just successfully got WavPack tracks to play both in WMP and WMC with full tag and album art support. I simply downloaded and installed two little pieces of software. You will need CoreWavePack (a directshow filter that works in x64 systems or it wouldn't work for me) and WMPTagSupport from Softpointer. This should also work for FLAC if you have the proper filters in place to play them in WMP.
It was really neat seeing my WavPack tracks show up all nice and tagged in WMC. Thank you firing up my curiosity about this issue.
That's good to know, I guess. I'm trying to avoid adding codec packs to my HTPC, just because I've read about people breaking live-TV support with them. I may be overreacting with it, but eh... I don't rip my movies to computer and don't get my other media from 'alternative' sources.
I will definitely look into CueTools for FLAC --> WMA Lossless conversion for the day I put music on my HTPC.
Codec packs are bad, individual codecs or filters on an "as need" basis don't seem to cause as many problems and it is much easier to identify and uninstall the offender also. The best thing to do is determine all the things you want to do in WMP/WMC that require extra software or tricks to get them to work and then simply load a virtual machine and do all your testing on it. At least that way you won't do any permanent damage to your current install.
