Converting APE files to Flac

[Norty]

Thanks Baddog...thanks to your input I did some hunting and some comparisons.  First dBPoweramp makes a very good converter that is very easy to use and a free 21 day trial.  The only hang up on it was it duplicated the files so I had both ape and flac.  Not a big deal but if trying to conserve space on the hard drive you need to delete the ape.  I also used EAC (Easy Audio Copy) to re-rip the cd's.  This did not work quite as well; the sound quality was fine but the information packet is very weak, missing about 10 of the album covers then once the system figured out what files to put album's into it would go back to install in one music file only, so Mark Knofpler had about 8 cd's in it before I figured it out.  I then did a comparison of a few of the rips to compare quality via Roon.  Thankfully there was no difference in quality and both sounded better than the cd itself.  Bottom line dBPowerp saved the day and will complete the rest of the files on the weekend.

Thanks again baddog.
