FLAC 16/24 to MP3?

I have a show both in the FLAC 16 and FLAC 24 format. I want to convert it to MP3 so I can listen on my iPod. I know converting it will cause quality loss but I was wondering, am I going to notice a difference between the MP3s converted from the FLAC 16s and the MP3s converted from the FLAC 24s? Will the MP3s from the FLAC 24s still sound better?

I'm guessing its not going to make a difference but I thought I'd ask.

Thank you!

    It is extremely unlikely there would be any difference, you may find the flac16s convert much faster though.

    Anytime I convert them they sound like junk. Maybe it is a sound card issue or something but they end up sounding real flat.

    Whats the most popular free software to transfer .flac to .wav?!

    Im looking for a new converting software. Right now the one Im using only lets me convert one song at a time.

    Thanks

    Trader's Little Helper is excellent for converting to mp3. Not sure about .wav.

    I think TLH is only for PC…If not, does anyone have a link for the download. Im searching but am not sure which site to use to dl it. Any other software programs out there?! I was using Smart Converter and really like it but I can only convert 1 song at a time.

    Thanks
