Is it Possible
to use FLAC Files on an iPod or Other MP3 Players?
FLAC is one of the many audio compression file formats
existing today. It has an audio format that is similar to that
of MP3 but is lossless. This means that audio that is
compressed in FLAC format is compressed without any loss in
quality so that the compressed file that you receive produces
the same quality of sound that is found in the original file.
As FLAC is designed especially for audio, it offers better
compression of audio files.
However as FLAC is a form of free lossless audio format, it
differs from MP3, MP4, WMA and other formats. It is because of
this, and because compression rate here is lower that FLAC
files may not work with your iPod or MP3 player. However it is
possible to convert your FLAC file to River Past Crazi Video
for iPod with the use of DC-Bass Decoder.
To launch Crazi Video for iPod, you have to first ensure that
iTunes is working right on your computer. With the
installation of Crazi Video for iPod, you have to launch Crazi
Video. On clicking on the ‘add’ button of the tool bar, the
file open dialog appears where you have to select ‘FLAC’ from
its ‘Files of type’ combo box.
You then have to select the file to be converted while
clicking ‘Open’. This adds the file to the conversion file
list. If you find that you can’t add the file, ensure that you
have the DC-Base Decoder installed in your computer as this is
required for conversion from FLAC files. On selecting the file
from the conversion list you find an additional panel, the
‘Convert File’ panel.
The toggle has to be clicked on to expand the panel where you
change the name of the output file. The ‘Output Directory’
panel has to be expanded and then the ‘browse’ button used to
select the output directory. With this done, you just have to
click ‘Convert’ button on the tool bar, and your file is
converted so that you can listen to your music on your iPod.
It is for similar reasons that you may not be able to listen
to your FLAC files on your MP3 player. You will also have to
convert your file from FLAC to MP3 using the River Past Audio
Converter, with the installed DC-Bass Decoder. Moreover,
depending on the file, you may also have to install Lame
enc.dll to convert your file.
With the installation of the River Past Audio Converter, you
have to launch it and basically, follow the same procedures as
in the conversion of your FLAC files to make it suitable for
play on iPods. However when using the setting panel found at
the base of the window to control output format, you have to
click on the toggle of the left to expand the panel.
You then select ‘MP3-MPEG Layer-3’ as the ‘Audio Type’ and
change the sample rate, bitrate and select if the channel is
stereo and mono. As the standard MPEG Layer-3 audio compressor
has a limit of 24khz and 56kbps, you have to install
Lame_enc.dl for higher bitrate and sample rate.
You then expand the ‘Output Directory’ panel and use the
‘Browse’ button for selecting an output directory, and then
click ‘Convert’ on the tool bar for the conversion of the
file. With this done, you will be able to listen to your FLAC
files on your MP3 and enjoy your music.
