#EAC FLAC TO MP3 FULL#
#EAC FLAC TO MP3 PORTABLE#

I have roughly 400 cd's on my hard drive and that only takes up 8gb's. Start with a lossless file, be it Apple lossless, Flac, Wav, etc. If you have an MP3 file, that certain information is gone and there is no way to recover it, so don't think about converting MP3 files to flac or another lossless file as you will only copy an already compromised MP3 recording.

This was the most common back in the day because storage was at a premium and ideal for use with portable devices.

MP3 files, the worst kind, actually leave out bits of information to reduce file size. Most find uncompressed WAV files to sound slightly better, but that's an argument for another day. A WAV file is uncompressed for the whole process, thus it takes up more storage. A flac file or apple lossless file is still compressed and then uncompressed when open. These files should not be filling up a 2 TB hard drive easily, that's a heck of a lot of storage. Heck, if your on a windows machine, you can even use good old ITunes for your purpose. DB power amp, JRIVER are excellent programs to use. Normally it's like 3-5 minutes depending on if some sort of error correction is engaged, which it should be.įree programs usually are a bit slower than paid for programs.

Is your computers processor up to snuff ? Meaning is it fast or aged and full of memory that slows it down when downloading ? That will effect your speed, 15 minutes to download a cd is very slow. I was able to play FLAC files in Foobar without any problems. Maybe EAC is an OK program and I was not using it properly. Art there better (faster and as accurate as EAC) options than using 'Exact Audio Copy?' EAC does verify the accuracy of the FLAC file and that is a feature I like.

'Exact Audio Copy' was very slow! It took over 15 minutes to covert a 48 minute CD to FLAC. It is, however, amazing to see how fast a 2 TB hard drive can be gobbled up. Converting to FLAC should not be an issue with hard drive storage space. It seems that the FLAC file is roughly twice the size of the same 320 kps mp3 file. I downloaded 'Exact Audio Copy' from C/Net and converted one of my CDs to FLAC. I have a large classical music library that is in mostly 192kps mp3.
