Free iMac OS FLAC to MP3 converter

I was given some FLAC files that I wanted to convert to MP3 and put on my iPod and my iPhone but Apple does not support FLAC format music files so I needed a utility to convert the FLAC files to MP3, and I wanted it free or open source as I only had a few tracks to convert.

What I found was All2MP3 a free utility that is written for Mac OS and only runs on Mac OS. It is beautifully simple and works quickly and efficiently on 264 different formats of audio and video files.

How to extract .MP3 audio from all formats of audio and video files

 * 5) from the next screen

That's it!

Note, the names of encoders and decoders do not always match, so there are several cases where the above table shows encoder only or decoder only entries even though both encoding and decoding are supported. For example, the h263 decoder corresponds to the h263 and h263p encoders, for file formats it is even worse.
