  • Upon launching the latest version, Acronis Active Protection alerted with "Possible Ransomeware Detected".
  • Straightforward
  • works well!
  • Excellent FREE product. I dont really understand why FLAC file type exists but I only download to burn to CD so when I downloaded one of my favourite albums only to find out the file type was FLAC.. A quick Google search lead me here and converting to MP3 was an absolute breeze and did not even take long !! Thanks for a great product !!!
  • Thank you very much for the program distributed under a free open license!
  • This did exactly what I wanted it to do (bulk conversion of flac files to mp3, using the configuration that I wanted), pretty easily, was amazingly fast and accurate!! Thank you, FlacSquisher !!
  • Though the interface is minimal, it does the job. No more, no less.
  • For me this is perfect software, powerful and quick to use.
  • Nicely focused utility with good defaults and straight-forward interface. Given a FLAC directory, perhaps created using EAC, and some understanding of an encoder to be used, which may involve research elsewhere, this is a great tool for converting music to more highly compressed format for portable devices.
  • Awesome, exactly what I wanted. Couldn't be easier to use. Exceeded my expectations. Just tried several other apps on windows and android and none did what I wanted. Glad I found this. Great job!
  • Used this for ages and it does exactly what it says on the tin! Don't expect bells and whistles then whinge about it. It's a simple and easy to use, old-school UI shell utilty for converting files (eg flac to mp3). I use it mainly for a car media player which doesn't support flac.
  • so fecking helpful. works like a charm
  • It does exactly what it promises. I can only wish to see the progress of the conversion. Otherwise excellent software.
  • Note that this software is a simple shell around a command line program. It does what is advertised very well. However there is a lot of scope for new features (which of course can be requested on the home page). But 5 *s because it works as expected!!
  • This is a great, efficient, easy-to-use app. Right on with the threads! My extreme core processor can cut through hundreds of flac files like butter. It uses LAME (and includes it) for MP3 encodes by default which works great.
  • The sound quality not so good . I made output of same 320bit files from it and "FLAC To MP3" ( not free utill ) the its outpot sound lass good.
  • Using FlacSquisher Version 1.3.7. Works great for me. Does on Windows exactly what my collection of shell scripts did on my Linux server, but MUCH faster! Created a parallel directory of MP3 files from my directory of almost 15,000 FLAC files overnight!
  • Great program once you figure it out. I was looking for a program that converted all my flac files while keeping the folder structure AND also copying over the sub-folders containg "Artwork" "Scans" etc and their content. This way I had an exact backup of my FLAC file library as MP3. I had previously tried dBPoweramp Batch Converter but could not get it to copy over these sub-folders, or at least I could'nt figure it out. Found this program and it does exactly what I was looking for. So 5 Stars for sure. It keeps file structure plus it copies over all sub-folders such as "Artwork" and its contents along with all .jpegs and any other files you specify. Nice job FlacSquisher.......
  • Very well working.
  • Just what I needed to convert about 1000 FLAC files to mp3's. Rather straight forward once you get the library/software programs, as shown in the options. FlacSquisher went to work saving me the hassle of doing it manually in Sony Sound Forge Pro or similar, as I typically did. As a Linux user (Debian 8.3 Jessie) it would be nice to have it a native program, but works fine in Wine. Many thanks for saving me the hassle of converting all the FLAC's manually!
  • Straightforward and easy. If you know where your FLAC files are, and where you want to put them, this couldn't be simpler. Download to full conversion of a given set of files: 5 min. Exactly what I was looking for.
  • I hate to criticize FOSS projects, which entail so much personal effort (which I respect) for little to no reward, but sorry, this is a very limited program. No support for CUE track splitting - if the CD has been ripped to a single FLAC file (they usually are), you get a single long MP3 file, too. The intended audience is *audiophiles*, who are not necessarily computer geeks as well, and may not even know what LAME is. But I do, and I know that LAME defaults to joint stereo VBR. I wanted real stereo CBR 320 (joint stereo often sounds muffled, and VBR confuses many players), so I had to search for LAME command switches before using the program. Hey, modern users expect to click on the parameters they want, and from then on it's not their problem! Moreover, the UI is plain, unattractive, outdated (it looks like something made in 1992 for Windows 3.1...) and uses a font that appears tiny and difficult to read in today's full HD monitors (with 4K ones looming on the horizon already). A conversion progress bar is only available in the Windows 7 version, which is not even mentioned in the Sourceforge description (and since I'm on Windows 10, I had to check if it was *up to* Windows 7 or Windows 7 *and later* - it's the latter). I bet 99% of Windows 7+ users will miss that and download the XP/Vista version. That version being default doesn't make sense at a time when XP is 14 years old, unsupported by Microsoft, with a dwindling market share and a security liability, while Vista is almost out of the radar. And since mobility is key today, a portable version to be run from a thumb drive would be nice - this is often the greatest appeal of many FOSS programs. Sorry, but except for the very much welcome and modern multicore support, this is not a program for 2015.

  • 5 Stars, but I miss the function to see my cpus/threads being monitored and percentage of the current conversion, just some more details :)
  • The best FLAC converter!
  • It have my recomendation.
