Hey guys, I'm begging for a good FLAC to MP3 converter tool!

Here's the situation: I have about 50GB of FLAC files. I used fre:ac to convert MP3 before. Although it worked fine, it often crashed for no apparent reason, and sometimes it just froze. The worst thing was that a few months ago, it suddenly started generating corrupted MP3 files (the FLAC files were good, confirmed). This made me completely lose confidence in it.

I've been looking for an alternative flac to mp3 tool recently, but when I searched, the screen was full of those lousy online flac to mp3 converters or "free trials" with various restrictions. I was almost going crazy, and I couldn't find a suitable one after searching for a long time.

So here comes the question:
  1. Is there any stable and reliable flac to mp3 tool you can recommend? It's best to be free or one-time paid, not subscription-based!
  2. Batch conversion must be supported, after all, I have 50GB of files, and it's too troublesome to do it one by one.
  3. As for parameters, I'm not very good at it, and I don't know how to set details such as bitrate to find a balance between sound quality and file size. Please advise.
Finally, the car device is my main playback scenario. I wonder if I need to pay special attention to anything when switching?
 
Good, thanks! I've found an alternative tool - Audiokies, worked great!
