Re: Turning FLAC to MP3?
I use this free player to play FLACs, no need to convert to mp3 or wav first:
http://www.foobar2000.com/ Converting to mp3 is lossy and a waste of time IMO. Most ppl on this site archive the FLAC files on DVDR as data for trading and reseeding shows. Welcome to TTD! No members have liked this post.

Re: Turning FLAC to MP3?
You don't need to convert to MP3 to be able to hear it. FLAC is a superior format that is the same quality as a CD recording, where MP3 can be as little as 10% of the quality.
We trade in FLAC files because that keeps the audio pure and true to the source recording as possible. Nothing wrong with converting to MP3 for a portable player like an iPod if space is an issue, but you should never use lossy MP3 for trading if you have the FLAC (or other lossless) source.
