Mac2flac

Mac2flac is a command line utility to ease the process of converting Monkeys Audio files to Flac. It aims to replace the various ape2flac bash scripts that are around.

Mac2flac is available under the GNU General Public License and runs mainly on GNU/Linux systems. It is written in C/C++ and is derived from Aqualung code. The application only provides a user interface; you still need to have the encoder and decoder libraries installed separately.
