Recommended FLAC converter? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I have a collection of music in flac format and now I want to store them on my phone. flac files get too much space and downloading all the playlist in mp3 takes as much time as finding decent and real high quality flacs (there is plenty of songs on internet which only look like 320kbps and are not really high quality). So I decided to convert my flac files into mp3 and I prefer minimum amount of quality loss; what is the best software for it?

Doesn't matter if conversion take some time if the quality would be decent.

Gonna have to hard agree with this.

I'd look into Apple's AAC format as it is the best compromise of space and quality currently.

I encode my FLACs to 256k vbr, which is high enough and saves a ton of space vompared to mp3.

Also I use musicbee to do this.

opus and AAC are more or less the same, with some wins and losses either way, just don't use ffaac or ffopus for encoding lol
