Needles & Grooves

Mac or PC? on Mac I use XLD.

@djdavedk PC

I've always used freac when I need to downsample to mp3

Don’t?

Thanks, @THEEDADROCK.BLOG!

I use Audacity for this

@hatfieldpdx I haven't used Audacity in years; didn't know it could do that, but thanks. Freac was insanely easy and fast.

@Lee Newman I don't actually listen to FLACs at this point in my life, but I purchased a couple shows from Nugs and unfortunately they don't give you all formats like Bandcamp does; you have to choose your format when you buy. I can upload mp3s to my YouTube Music locker while FLAC is currently useless to me, but I want to future proof, as it were.

Don’t mind me. Lol

Yeah, Audacity is a bit clunky at first, but once you get rolling it is a piece of cake. And you can send the files to a dedicated folder, which is helpful.
