Good evening all,
I just finished ripping 900 cd's using dbPoweramp in FLAC format for my main music system in the house but now I want to convert them to MP3 as well to download onto my IPOD so I can listen to music in the car or while working out. What is the best way to convert the files quickly? Is there a free software convertor available? Can JRiver or dbPoweramp do it for me?
Thanks.

Use MC's HH sync. Create a virtual handheld, which is a folder, and chose the settings you want.
-
Alternative is that you can install the
Rockbox Software on your Ipod to allow it to play Flac Files....

Thank you gents for the quick replies and information. I was able to get them all my cd's placed on the IPOD but I noticed that they are all in a variety of bit rates. I discovered the options after the fact (new to this) and see that I could have chosen the bit rate.
Is there a way to just sync again with a higher bit rate to get a better quality or do I have to start over again? I was hoping for a bit rate of 192 or 312 as I have lots of room on my IPOD Classic.
Thanks.

I think if you change the bit rate, you'll have to reconvert and re-sync.
-
How do I do that within JRiver? Do I have to delete all of the other files first and then sync again? It makes sense but I am just curious.
Thanks.

Once a CD or song is ripped to a bitrate, you can not rip it to a higher bitrate. If you wish to have higher bitrate music files on your Ipod you
will need to re rip the music from the original source. i.e.CD.
-
It depends on what you did earlier and what settings you have.
If you have
Tools > Options > File Location > Conversion Cache > Audio
set to create conversion cache files, then those cache files need to be deleted. Check your settings here, and if they point to a single directory, you can just delete the cache directory, change your HH sync settings, and resync.

I did go to the folder and delete them all but when I try to resync it will not start over again. I would hate to have to go CD by CD again when they have all ready been ripped to JRiver and exist.
I want to just clear the IPOD and restart. Or just sync over the current ones with a higher bit rate.
It just seems that it should be so easy.
Thoughts??

Delete the files on the HH as well.
