How to convert FLAC to MP3
- Choose all the FLAC tracks of an album at once (up to 100).
- Keep Format on MP3 and Bitrate on 320 kb/s, or choose a smaller bitrate.
- Select Convert to MP3.
- Select Download all to get one ZIP.
Worked example
Each track keeps its file name with an .mp3 extension. A 4-minute track at 320 kb/s is about 9.6 MB (320,000 bits per second for 240 seconds, divided by 8).

Questions
Will FLAC to MP3 lose quality?
Yes, some: FLAC is lossless and MP3 is lossy. At 320 kb/s the difference is small for most listening; keep the FLAC files as your master copies.
Are tags such as artist and album kept?
Text tags such as title, artist and album are copied to the MP3 when the FLAC has them. Embedded cover art is not copied.
What about 24-bit or 96 kHz FLAC?
MP3 supports sample rates up to 48 kHz, so higher rates are converted to 48 kHz and the result notes it.
