I’m ditching streaming services and just going with local music. However all my CDs are converted to either flac or 320kbps mp3 files on my PC and thus far too large for the limited storage I have on my phone.

I was hoping there might be an app that would automatically downconvert to something like 128kbps and then copy over to the Music directory on my phone. A bit like how Calibre can automatically convert eBook files (e.g. mobi to epub) and then send them to your ereader?

    I don’t know about automatic, but I also have music locally on my phone after moving away from streaming services.

    I use fre:ac to convert from FLAC to MP3, and then just save it in a separate folder. Then when I’m done I move the folder to the phone and delete it from the computer so I just have FLAC on my computer.

    Not automatic, but that’s how I usually do it.

      I was considering doing that sort of thing if I couldn’t find anything automatic. It’s just annoying as I buy new music and have to convert along the way, especially as I have memory impairment and can forget to clean up afterwards.
