Re: Any reliable FLAC -> MP3 converters for OS X?

If you must convert lossless to lossy, maybe for one of they Pod thingies, I'd suggest going to AAC instead. If you go down that route you can use flaac, also coded by xACT's very own Scott and available from the Files section of <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xACT-users/>.

If it absolutely, positively HAS to be MP3, decode to AIFF/WAV first and then use <http://blacktree.com/apps/iTunes-LAME/>. Slower than iTunes's own MP3 encoder but a zillion times better.

Whatever you do, keep the original FLACs and DO NOT share your lossy encodings.
