Sat down and learned how to use FFMPEG to convert files last night. It might sound sacrilegious but I want to convert some flacs to mp3. These are car songs for the kids, I needed to convert whole folders at a time because we don’t need 1gb albums in the car

It’s pretty hard to hear the difference from flac -> 320kbps mp3 in a car.
BUT kiddos have better hearing than us oldies so would be interesting to do a blind test with them and ask if they can tell the format difference in the car. Might break up the ‘are we there yet’ routine 🙃

They just want to hear Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult again and again. I converted the flacs through VLC and there’s such a volume dropoff between that track and the others on the car USB
