flac to mp3, without gui and without temp wav file Options

[AlexanderTG]

hi

is it possible to transcode from flac to mp3 without using any of the available gui's and without creating a wave file from the flac file first and then converting that wave file to mp3.

i would like to understand how this can be done (if it can be done).

Ax

edit-----------
basically, what command line could be used to do this? im guessing i would need to make use of the stdin and stdout?

Thanks

Aargh, Dilby, I was just writing a how-to on batch files and right click. I shoulda known that someone here would have already done that. Good thing I previewed or I would have looked silly.

Though I think anticrust's batch file is a bit over-complex... Having to interact with a batch is annoying, as are the limits for file locations. It's much easier just to have several smaller scripts that do one job. I also prefer operating on files, not directories. But the bits for transferring tags are neat, I may have to copy those.
