Converting .flac files to MP3 (?)

Options
I wonder if anyone can help me? I have some music .flac files on disc and my hard-drive and I want to put them onto my ipod but iTunes doesn't support them. Does anyone know how I can convert them into MP3 files? It's driving me potty! :confused: I can play them through VLC media player on my computer but want them on me pod

Please make it simple as I'm completely thick when it comes to techie stuff! ;)

Many thanks!

    That's pants. :P

    Flac frontend looks to be for converting things TO flac, while the OP wants to convert from.

    Winlame's probably the easiest to use for this.
    They say it's genetic, they say he can't help it, they say you can catch it - but sometimes you're born with it

    Right click the flac files and from the menu select mp3 and location and its done.
