Converting computer files I wonder if I can tap into the extensive wealth of combined knowlege here on the org?
I have downloaded a couple of files from the web (through Vuze) and it turns out that they are .flac and .rar files - I need to convert these into MP3 files so I can put them on my pod, but I have absolutely no idea how to do this (in fact it's a minor miracle that I managed to download the files in the first place!) Can someone please point me in the right direction - using plain English, coz I'm thick! lol. Cheers I'm not stopping. I haven't even taken my coat off

Coolness. 2 different things really: 1. The .rar files are just compressed - download a copy of winrar and it'll bring them back to whatever they were supposed to be. 2: For .flac, I haven't found a nice, free converter yet. If you want to play them on your PC, use VLC media player. For your Ipod, if there aren't too many, I'd burn the tracks to a CD using Burrrn and then rip them back using Itunes or whatever you usually use. These are all free programs: Winrar: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm VLC Media Player: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ Burrrn: http://www.burrrn.net/?page_id=6 (And the Dublin concert was GREAT - youu really missed out  )

Beat me to it on the rar files suggestion. 
I've never dealt with flac files, though.  | |

Thank you for your well wishes - I see that you have a new 'baby' too, she's a beaut mate - Just promise me that you'll go careful when you're out on her.
Thank you so much for your advice - I'm gonna go and try your suggestions... don't be surprised if I bombard you with loadsa questions about how to use these here newfangled programs. 
Love yah Kerry x 
PS - You do know that the only reason Prince cancelled the Dublin gig was because he knew I couldn't make it... yep  He told me that he just couldn't face performing if he couldn't see my tonsils in the crowd and he admitted that it was really inconsiderate of him to even contemplate touring whilst I was so heavily pregnant.
So there.  I'm not stopping. I haven't even taken my coat off

Ah. See... I've started already! Which winrar do I download? There's HUNDREDS of 'em!
I'm guessing it's the top one? Am I right? I'm not stopping. I haven't even taken my coat off

I'm guessing it's the top one? Am I right? Correct - if you're using an ordinary PC with Windows, the top one is fine. | |
