Lossless Audio Files To Play On iPod

Single Ape or FLAC With Cue Sheet

I have tried the method described here on FLAC using Nero 9. Nero 9 includes the FLAC plug-in and everything works. It looks like I need to install an APE plug-in for Nero 9 and I'm still not sure how to do this.

To convert APE/FLAC with cur sheet to MP3, in general, you use Nero 9 to open the APE/FLAC cue sheet with the help of the plug-ins, and then burn it to a virtual CD which creates a .nrg image file. Next use Daemon tools to mount the .nrg file so it looks like a CD drive to the computer. In order to create MP3 files you need LAME and I found one here. This is a "back-end" file. EAC provides the front-end for extracting the tracks from the .nrg file into individual MP3 files using LAME.

FLAC to MP3

Individual FLAC files can be converted to MP3. This guide is great. The method uses foobar 2000 to convert FLAC to MP3. It needs LAME to create the MP3.

APE to MP3
