Volcom is a company that has it’s fingers in a number of different pies. An entertainments company, extreme sports riders team and the mighty Volcom clothing label are all part of this surf, skate and snow brand. Volcom help promote music, art and riding talent as well as producing some of the most interesting and innovative clothing in the world. The Volcom clothing label is split into a number of different ranges that are each honed into different demographics. The Volcom Girls line just for women, the Volcom Stone range for boarders and surfers and Volcom Snow for those who like to ride the powdered slopes.
The Volcom brand was start by two friends when they were on a snowboarding trip so it is hardly surprising that they started making clothing. The Volcom Snow range is a fantastic example of personal knowledge and understanding of snowboarding combined with the influences of the snowboard scene. This is what has helped the Volcom Snow line to become a respected snowboarding clothing line.
The Volcom clothing company has always been closely linked to surfers and skateboarders and this has lead to endorsements as well as rider influenced designs. This co-operation has helped the Volcom Stone line to become both innovative and stylish. Volcom Stone clothing can be worn whilst skateboarding but wouldn’t be out of place in a night club and with the latest suits you wouldn’t be out of place at a wedding.
Despite being started by two men, Volcom have always tried to cater for a wide demographic of women. Volcom Girls provide a line of clothing that stands out from the crowd whilst remaining fashionable. The range is aimed towards independent young women that don’t want to be trapped within the usual high street fashions.

FLAC is a Free Lossless Audio Codec that is pretty popular with music fans and especially self-described audiophiles. This includes both Windows and Linux users, and various software tools are available for dealing with FLAC files. However, for some strange reason, FLAC-support is next to none on the Mac. Which might be a problem if you want to listen to your high-quality audio files in iTunes. Also, some older hardware players don’t support FLAC at all.
So what can you do in this situation? Convert the .flac files to a format that is recognized by iTunes/whatever other application you’re using. In the case of iTunes, MP4 is probably the audio format you’re looking for. For portable MP3 players, you would typically need to convert the FLAC to MP3. However, in this post I’ll focus on the flac-to-mp4 example.
There are various utilities out there that you could use. If you’re currently runing Windows, I would suggest the dbPowerAmp converter. You can get it for free and it supports a whole lot of audio formats, including MP4. You can see an illustrated example of how to use dbPoweramp in this flac to mp3 converter article (the example doesn’t use MP4, but it does explain the interface and converter configuration pretty well).
In case you’re using Mac OS X, dbPowerAmp will be out of question as it doesn’t have a Mac version. Instead, use the X Lossless Decoder. XLD is a fast converter that supports a number of lossless formats and has a nice GUI. It can convert between FLAC, MP4, M4A, Ogg, Wavpack and other formats.
Good luck and enjoy your brand-new MP4 music.
