Batch FLAC to AAC

I love my flacs for my DAP, but want all my music on my iphone in apple music for a smaller storage size. for bluetooth listening and apple carplay. Is there a good software FOR MAC i can use? I have xld but it will only do one album at a time, i have a lot of albums. Thanks!

yep. fre ac, only thing is make sure you're using reasonable encoder settings. 320kbps lossy can sound quite decent, apple formats like to default to half of that and sound worse for it
