FLAC help

[The Big Come Up]

Hey, I'm sort of a novice when it comes to FLAC files and i'm getting pretty sick of not getting to hear a lot of recordings because I can't find the right programs to convert them. Can anybody here lend a hand? I'm trying to find a converter program that I can trust won't have a bunch of other crap (spyware, viruses, etc.) come along with it.

from the source...you can also visit the archive and just download the zipped mp3's

download the tracks, then download flac frontend. just type those words into google, it's a free download.  Then open the program drag the files you want to convert into the box, choose a folder you want them to go to and hit decode.  You will then have Wave files which you can burn to a CD and/or convert to mp3.  I use shorten to convert but I think winamp will do it too.

aMillionDreams is right, winamp can convert for you as well.  If I remember correctly I typed a google search for converting flac to mp3 and there was a tutorial on one of the first few results that showed step by step how to convert using itunes and winamp, both free versions by the way.
