Tool to change sample rate of FLAC's for Windows

[Ralph072]

Hi,

 

What tool are you guys using to change the sample rate of FLAC's?

 

I have some 24/192 FLAC's that I need to downsample to 24/96.

 

I read about Audacity - as that good? Are there alternatives?

 

Thanks guys!

 

cheers, Ralph

if it is because the DAC won't handle above 24/96 then you have several options:

* let the DAC do the downsampling

* use something easy like DBPoweramp to downsample and create new 24/96 FLACs

* let the chosen music player do the downsampling

 

Most will agree that on-the-fly downsampling is not the best but let your ears dictate.

yes, I'm using M-Audio Transit that can only handle up to 24/96. I'm looking for a tool, that can downsample the FLAC's. So I would keep a hi-res version for the future and have a "working copy" for now.

 

I didn't know that DBPowerampt can do that since I'm using EAC for ripping. Are there other options? Like a freeware tool or so?

and allows easy batch processing of FLAC files. It's full price is all of $24. I used it for some of my ripped 24/192 DVD_A files when all I had was a Logitech transporter that would accept only 24/96 max. i now use it constantly for FLAC to WAV and MP3 conversions (MP3 simply for metatdata) as I move things to the Mac, etc.

ok, it's probably time to give it a try. I'm so used to EAC... )

 

Thanks for your thoughts.
