Trying to convert flac to mp3 but it fails. Tried VBR and CBR, tried different options no luck. What am I doing wrong?

Hi there. What happens when it fails? Any error messages, or anything to help us understand what went wrong?

Right click, library tools, convert format, choose MP3 encoder, tried VBR, CBR encoding.
In the file conversion window the qued file status changes from "in queue" to "failed" when I click "convert". The file type stays flac.

Take a look at the values in Tools > Options > File Location > Audio. Is the base, folder rule and filename rule correct and leading to a good location where you can write files?

Folder rule: artist\ album
File rule: artist\ album/ track name
Location: C:\ users\ name\ music , and at the "conversion options" I tried the same directory as the source, and a different target directory as well.

Ok, assuming that forward slash, missing brackets around field names, and extra spaces are typos, maybe Anti-virus software is interfering. Perhaps try disabling it while you retry.

Disabling the anti virus soft ware did not help. I tried to convert one song into ALAC and it worked so the problem probably with the mp3 conversion only.

Interesting. You are using MC's stock MP3 converter, and not a custom one I presume?

They aren't 5.1 flacs by any chance are they? I was getting errors converting MKVs with 5.1 sound to mp3 until I down-mixed to 2 channel in the conversion options.
EDIT: Here's the post that helped me solve my problem

I don't know for sure, but a Log may include more useful error output.
