FLP files are audio files you create yourself with the Fruity Loops Studio software utility. Fruity Loops lets you add your own sound effects and samples, and then loop them together to assemble entire songs. There aren't any conversion programs that translate FLP files to MP3 files, but you don't actually need one. The Fruity Loops program includes a built-in exporting feature that lets you take any FLP file you've made and export it as an MP3 track.

Step 3

Click the "Bitrate" slider. Drag the slider to the right to make the track a higher quality MP3 file with clearer audio. Drag the slider to the left to make the track a lower quality bitrate, which also makes the final file much smaller.

Step 4

Click the "Leave Remainder" check box if you want to leave any trailing sounds at the end of the audio track. Click "Cut Remainder" if you want to end the track as soon as the main sounds stop looping.
