With this in mind, I wanted to achieve the following: My in car audio system does not recognise FLAC so I needed to convert to MP3. It will pick up any FLAC file in c:\source and write out the corresponding MP3 file in c:\output. The batch file is very similar to the video version I used in the article on how to Quickly Convert MKV to M4V. Using FFMPEG to convert FLAC to MP3Īfter some trial and error, I settled on the following batch file. I decided to take a look at FFMPEG to see if it could manage audio and not only can it manage audio, but it does a fantastic job of converting FLAC to MP3. FLAC audio is lossless which means you’re getting the same quality from your digital music as you are from your CD but as we know, MP3 can sound terrible if the wrong settings are selected. I wanted to maintain any meta data and achieve a decent level of audio quality without a huge file size.


I’ve been using FLAC for my audio collection now for a while but recently needed to convert some of them into MP3 for the in car audio system. Converting FLAC to MP3 using FFMPEG doesn’t have to be difficult.
