    I have encountered the same problem as you. There are many audio formats, and the devices do not support them all. In the end, AudioKes helped me convert audio (flac) to mp3, It converts fast without losing quality. I still use it regularly!

    I wish you a good time with MP3 files! 😀

SoX is a powerful command-line MP3 converter for audio processing, often referred to as the "Swiss Army knife" of sound processing programs. While SoX itself primarily handles audio conversion and processing, it can work in conjunction with LAME to encode MP3 files, making it a robust alternative for MP3 conversion tasks.

To convert a FLAC file to MP3 using SoX in combination with LAME, you can use the following command:

sox test.flac -C 192 test.mp3

Here, -C 192 sets the MP3 bitrate to 192 kbps. Ensure that LAME is installed and accessible in your system’s PATH, as SoX relies on it for MP3 encoding.

Both LAME and SoX are excellent choices for command-line MP3 conversion on Windows 11/10/7 PC. LAME is specialized for high-quality MP3 encoding with extensive customization options, making it ideal for users focused solely on MP3 conversion. SoX, on the other hand, offers broader audio processing capabilities and can handle a variety of tasks beyond just conversion, especially when paired with LAME for MP3 encoding.
