Flac (24bit) to Flac (16 bit) decent converter program
Hi folks
I've some music that I want to leave as FLAC but the rubbish phone I've got won't play FLAC @24 bits but will handle FLAC at @16 bits.
Any decent programs around to convert to 16 bit. Note I'm using decent headphones so I don't want some mushy mp3 sound played using those hideous cheap bud type phones (usually more people Not wearing them hear the "music" than the wearers --especially the apple white one's !!!).
K3b (on Linux) will do it in a bit of a roundabout way --burn to a "Virtual audio CD" losslessly which preserves the sampling rate but you then need to re-rip again to get FLAC files for your device (and sometimes you have to re-tag too). For CD audio it will change the files to 16 bit which plays just fine and is standard for CD's but for CD's - you want to keep the decent sampling rate though
I'm looking for a simple quick way to do it !! on Windows and preferably Free without complicated "Dithering options" etc..
Cheers
