24 Bit FLAC HQ music to 16 Bit for CD type player ??

Hi there

I have a load of 48 bit high quality FLAC music files which I want to copy for some people who can only play on standard audio type equipment which means a Max of 16 bit CD quality audio. Any decent software around that can do this -- I know it can easily be done with studio grade software but I want something free and easy

(ITunes can do it but I loathe iTunes and wouldn't go near them for love nor money !!).

BTW if you use things like PLEX / amazon fire stick etc 48 bit music won't play - or won't be transcodable either in the server application. As for Blu tooth speakers -- well to any decent audiophile blu tooth is essentially a 4 letter word when talking about quality --wifi beats blu tooth hands down --not even oin the same UNIVERSE. Blu tooth OK for phones etc but tht's it. !!!!

BTW if you hve access to HQ speakers (and I mean really High quality ones) the 24 bit sound makes a HUGE difference - even with standard 16 bit CD sound which isn't too bad either. !!! However I do need to transcode some of my files to 16 bit so anybody whose got some decent software suggestions on this -- would be grateful.

Cheers

Hi, any use?

Hi there

thanks @dalchina

downloaded from the German site as other downlinks were riddled with "Installers" - other programs etc -- one has to be really careful these days getting the CORRECT program when using a lot of links !!!!

German site OK though (and you can install in English).



I can see why people get all sorts of unintentional stuff installed on machines these days -- you need to be really careful before you actually click download !!!.
