As Speek's celebrated FLAC Frontend hasn't been updated for 10 years, things started to get a little buggy with new Windows versions. This remake fixes most issues.

FLAC Frontend is a convenient way for Windows users not used to working with command lines to use the official FLAC tools. It accepts WAVE, W64, AIFF and RAW files for encoding and outputs FLAC or OGG-FLAC files. It is able to decode FLAC files, test them, fingerprint them and re-encode them. It has drag-and-drop support too.

User Reviews

  • Easy enough to use, and fast. Hasn't created problems. Running Win-11; fre:ac wasn't working. This a pleasant surprise. Fifth star missing because the UI could be a bit better (no suggestions here, maybe I'm being unjust).
  • Original version v1.7.0.1 could generate Tags: Album, Author, Genre, Year, Comment, and also automatically add Title and track number. Besides it saved settings. This is worst in almost all aspect, with the only exception that admits international characters in filenames.
  • Awesome tool. I use it regularly for reading the fingerprint of FLAC files. But it still uses libFLAC 1.3.0 (UTC 2013-05-26), so for best compression I would recommend you to use a tool like fre:ac, which uses the newest libFLAC library (1.3.2 at the moment).
  • Doesn't save settings in ini file like the original did. I have to tweak this frontend everytime i restart it. Feels like it's 1997. C'mon...
