You can do this in foobar This post is outdated but I believe the settings are close for the current foobar http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/how_to_convert_flac_files_to_mp3.cfm Also I think I used this in the past https://sourceforge.net/projects/flacsquisher/

Great info - thanks Tim.

So I am testing a different setup - Amp - SMSL SMSL SA-60 black 60WPC Class D Digital Amplifier Pi2 with HiFiBerry DAC+ Pro Within the software which settings are best for for the above setup for hardware volume controller and MPD volume control? Hardware, software, disabled?

This will be a nice bonus.

I just upgraded to 2.7 on my Pi2. One issue I ran into is when I went to the next song the Main Display was still listing old song/album cover. A refresh/closing out of the browser going back in didn't help. Is this a common thing? Is the only resolution a reboot?

I saw this mentioned - I2S DACs support out of the box. R-pi DAC, Hifiberry & Hifiberry DIGI, Iq-Audio Pi DAC, Raspy3Play. Just connect them, and activate the proper driver from the i2s selector. Reboot and enjoy.

This information covers most models of the Raspberry Pi devices. Note that some DACs only work with certain RP versions as well as cases.
