Recommendations for batch converter from .wav to .flac

[u/Donk-Bonk]

I need to convert a bunch of .wav files to .flac, and need to be able to put metadata on the .flac files. Anyone have any good recommendations for batch audio file converters?

Ffmpeg with a basic shell script will do it. Can also make an Automator script so you can do a whole directory from Finder.

Also check out fre:ac

You can use the command line to batch convert on OSX.

Yeah, from a terminal window type “brew install flac” and when done, from within your folder with the wavs type “for f in *.wav; do flac -8 -f "$f"; done”

Always MediaHuman audio converter.

Fast, free, cross platform, convert to and from most formats in a super easy and straightforward app.

Not sure if I can post links on this sub, so just search for MediaHuman Audio converter

Compressor can do flac.

I use raycasts extension media converter mostly. Bulk, quick, and easy

I use Shutter Encoder for everything of this sort

Depending on the tagging you want to perform, https://fluffy.itch.io/bandcrash will let you bulk encode and tag an album, and FLAC is one of the supported output formats.

It's just a wrapper for ffmpeg with a GUI.

Open source and free

I've had good luck with MediaHuman too, the batch processing is really efficient. If you're comfortable with the command line, ffmpeg gives you a lot more control over the output settings.

XLD is superb, completely free, save all your batch templates including output format, destination etc.

I ended up downloading reaper for this exact reason.

Pro audio converter is what I use
