Batch converting

paradisiac · 9 Mar 2011 at 21:02

hi, i have got about 110GB of music, in random file formats, mainly MP3, WMA, FLAC. i was wondering, is there any app, that say i selected the whole lot of music (is on a complete drive on its own) i can mass convert them all to mp3, whilst deleting the original files, rather than go through every folder and converting then deleting them?
thanks

Converting lossy to lossy loses quite a bit of quality even going from the same bitrates, there is no straight 320 - 320 lossy converts.

so would it be best to :
A) leave as is and find a player to play all types (MP doesnt seem to like some of them)
B) convert it all to FLAC
C) spend hours re-ripping my cds

ok thanks. dont really want to re-rip all my cds, but future ones i will do in FLAC. i have a 500GB HDD for music, and like i said only 110GB at most is used, so space isnt a problem, its more having the time to do it, and having a media player that will play all my different formats.

ok thanks for your help, will give it a go. what do you use for ripping cds, and are there different quality FLAC files?
