Two recommendations. I'll check it out.

It might. The problem is finding things these days. The results are dominated by things like download.com, and when you dig through the "free" results to remove the non-functional demos and trials, you're left with hijacking crap that takes a suite of anti-malware apps to remove. And... freac wants to be downloaded through that same place. Though there are other options.

EDIT: It... seems to work. I tested it on a single album, and it converted all the tracks. But many of them are colabs, and... I don't know quite what it did with them, as only one track from the album showed up under the artist's name. Not to say that's its fault, as this is my nephew's will.i.am album, near the end of my library, where I haven't gone through to clean them up quite right yet.
I tested by converting to flac, and noticed Windows wasn't showing the art, but then saw that that's standard for the format, and it does show up when I play one (which wasn't the worst thing I've heard of late).
