Flac to wav converter



I was digging through some flac files for drums samples and I needed to convert them into wav files to take them into a two track editor.

FLAC-Free Lossless Audio Codec aka Flac Front End- this did the trick simply and quickly. In many different OS flavors.

Audacity- the best free two track editor around, and it does FLAC (thanks to the good doc for reminding me on this program).

i think audacity supports flac natively, fwiw. I know you're still a soundforge wizard though, and honestly, I haven't found anything on Mac that touches SoundForge 4.5.

speaking of freeware: VLC (http://www.vlcmediaplayer.org/) can do screen captures of DVDs where windows media player / quicktime / DVD player / whatever you got goin' on might not otherwise allow it. Because I know you need some screen captures to take your collages digital.

I do still roll the old pre sony versions, I am fluent as a mo fo and precise. I will post a link up to the audacity joint too (duh, I like that as a two track editor too. VLC is off the chain too, it can do some cool stuff with broadcasting (running multicast video streams on the internal network, broadcasting out live streams, ect). I may lay low on the digital art stuff for a while, the main point of it is to get away from a computer. You should however be worried about "The sqrt Nightly News."
