Where can I find a software which can converter music files from one form to another?

What OS? From what format to what format?

Windows from FLAC to mp3.

I haven't used it for this task in particular, but I'm a fan of VLC as a reliable multimedia app, and it apparently can do this. (Check the last entry on that page; yes I know the guy's using Linux, but VLC seems to work reliably on both platforms for me).
You can get VLC for Windows here.

Exact Audio Copy was recommended in some audio thread on here, years ago now (wow I've been hanging out here for a while
).
I downloaded it recently to pay with some FLAC stuff, but I've yet to actually use it.

I use LAME to encode MP3s with RazorLame as a nice front end. I'm not sure if you can directly read FLAC files as input in that setup, but it's a lossless format so you can open them in Audacity and convert to wav with no issues. Audacity can also save directly as mp3s using LAME but the encoding options are a little harder to configure that way.

I'm pretty sure MediaMonkey will convert from .flac.

That would be my go-to as well.
Though I'm not sure why you'd want to convert away from FLAC.

Because my iPod won't play FLAC.

Well, get a better media player, then. Sansa Clip plays FLAC, ogg, mp3, wm4, etc, etc, etc, takes micro-SD cards, and costs about $40.

Well I already have a iPod and since 90% of my use with the iPod is either working out or driving, I don't really care about the slight loss of quality comparing FLAC to mp3. If I am really going to be seriously listening to music I have a vinyl collection.

I have been using this on my Sansa for about 4 years and it works great. It is a replacement firmware for different mp3 players but if you don't like it you can reset the player back to factory. Rockbox
It won't help with the converting but I am fairly sure it will play FLAC.

You can easily convert FLAC to mp3 on your Windows PC. FLAC is free lossless Audio Codec that has limited supported device but mp3 supports on almost all devices. If you want to listen this mp3 to your iPod with stereo sound then you will need iPod Converter. The converter converts all audio and video formats to iPod/iPhone supported video and audio formats.

Only audio conversion apps I use are Audacity, VLC and ffmpeg.

Yeah that iPod Converter app isn't free either, and who pays for that stuff when there are so many good free apps available? That's almost like paying for an office suite or server OS
