Converting FLAC to MP3 Using VLC Media Player

Article Category: Computers and Technology

Author Name: Jack Walter

Even though some people require the use of a FLAC to MP3 converter software, both FLAC and MP3 are supported today by dozens of media player devices. However, the MP3 format is more popular with the more portable devices that are used today. Most of the mobile devices that many people rave about today only support media with smaller file sizes thus making file converters necessary.

Note that both the free lossless audio codec and MP3 can reduce the file size of regular CD audio media. However, FLAC retains most of the data that the MP3 format discards thus MP3 files are usually smaller while retaining most of the sound fidelity that the human ear can hear.

VLC Media Player to the Rescue

One of the solutions to this dilemma is to use a music file conversion software program that supports both MP3 and FLAC. VLC Media Player supports both of these audio file formats and a host of others as well. It's a petite program suite that only occupies a small amount of space on the hard drive but packs a lot of features including a file conversion utility, which can be pretty useful in this case. Users should also take note that a certain loss in audio quality should be expected due to the disparity between FLAC and MP3 and it is not the fault of file format converters like VLC Media Player.

Using VLC Media Player

Other than playing different media formats, VLC Media Player can also be used as a FLAC to MP3 converter. Launch the application suite and then click on the "Media" button. It is located at the top of the VLC toolbar. After that, select the option to "Convert/Save" from the drop down menu that comes up on the screen.

After that, the "Open Media" window will appear. Next, users should click the "Add" button located on the right side of the current window or screen. It will open a new pop up window that allows users to search for the FLAC file that they need to convert to MP3. Search for the folder where the said file is located and highlight the file or files that should be converted. After that, click the "Open" button to go back to the previous window and have the selected files listed.

At this point, users will still be allowed to add more files. Just repeat the above mentioned steps to locate other files on the hard drive that also needs to be converted. Once all the necessary files are listed on the screen users can make VLC Media Player execute the file conversion process.

The steps to convert FLAC files to MP3 files in VLC Media Player are rather easy. Click the "Convert/Save" button that can be found at the bottom of the current window. Users will then be prompted to select a destination folder where the new MP3 files should be stored. Users can choose a name for the new file at this point or just rename their new MP3 files later. Note: Remember to select ".mp3" as the file type or file extension or else the files will not be converted to the desired music file format.

Finally, click "Start" and VLC Media Player will perform the rest of the process on its own. And that is pretty much how to use this software application as a FLAC to MP3 converter.
